BRISTOL, Va. (Jan. 8, 2014) â€" A 30-point night for Kayla Kelly and a 21-point effort by Hayley Wyrick was not enough as Milligan women's basketball dropped a tough road decision, 93-87 in overtime, to Virginia Intermont Wednesday.

Milligan dropped to 10-7 (6-3 AAC) while Virginia Intermont improved to 7-9 (3-6 AAC).

The Lady Buffaloes led 77-71 with four minutes left in regulation before watching VIC forward Rainey Story score the Lady Cobras' next 20 points, spanning the end of the second half and all but the final 34 seconds of overtime.

Story, who finished with a game-high 37 points, capped a 9-3 VIC run at the end of regulation by scoring the game-tying basket at the 23-second mark. In overtime, she put the Lady Cobras on top for good with a basket at the 4:27 mark.

Despite losing the late lead, Milligan had its chances in the closing minute. With the game knotted at 78, Kelly put the edge back in the Lady Buffaloes' favor with a two-pointer with 53 seconds remaining. Even once Story scored the basket to tie, Milligan had the final chance on its last possession, ending in an Allison Jones miss at the buzzer.

In overtime, Story missed only once as the Lady Cobras outscored Milligan 13-7. Story was 15-of-21 in her team's fifth victory at home.

Kelly's 30 points, a career high (previous was 29, Dec. 1, 2012 vs. Montreat), came on 12-of-17 shooting. The senior scored 14 points in the first half, including going 4-for-4 from three-point territory. She added eight rebounds and four assists.

Freshman Wyrick, who scored 20+ for the fifth time this season, shot 7-of-12 from the field and added five rebounds.

As a team, Milligan was 44.8% (30-67) from the floor while VIC shot 58.7% (37-63) and outscored the Buffs 46-22 in the paint and 14-4 on second chances.

Milligan will return home Saturday for a 2 p.m. matinee against Virginia University of Lynchburg in the Steve Lacy Fieldhouse. The women's game will be followed by the men's matchup.
