Junior guard
Jajuan Davis, for the second time in the last three games, nailed a three-point jjmper in the final seconds of regulation time Wednesday night at California U. of Pa.
Unlike one week earlier, when Davis' shot at 0.3 seconds gave The Rock a 61-60 victory over Indiana U. of Pa., Wednesday's last-second shot did not prove to be the game-winner.
California (16-5 overall, 5-1 in PSAC-West action) reigned in overtime by a 69-65 decision to remain tied for the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference-Western Division lead.
The Rock fell to 5-15 overall, 2-4 in conference action.
Freshman guard Nathan Lankford scored a team-high 14 points for The Rock while freshman guard Justen Stubblefield added 11 points and sophomore forward Glenn Reepmeyer grabbed a game-high 12 rebounds.
The Rock trailed by three points, 30-27, at halftime and led by one point on a pair of occasions in the second half. But SRU was down by six points, 53-47, with 1:22 left before it finished regulation play with an 8-2 run to send the game into overtime knotted at 55-55.
Lankford nailed a three-pointer and junior forward Jason Taylor scored on a layup to set up Davis' last-second heroics.
The Rock never led in overtime, but did manage to knot the score on three occasions before California scored seven of the game's final 10 points to ice the win.
SRU hosts Shippensburg in a 3 p.m. PSAC-West game on Saturday in Morrow Field House.
