Tough Terriers never say die
Fuchko’s Putback Lands St. Francis in Mid-Major Top 25
With each victory, the St. Francis women’s basketball team makes more history.
On Monday night in Teaneck, N.J., the surprising Terriers got a game-winning putback from sophomore guard Leah Fuchko in the final seconds to pull out a 57-55 comeback victory over Northeast Conference rival Fairleigh Dickinson.
Fuchko, who finished with 11 points and eight rebounds, helped St. Francis, a perennial bottom-dweller in the NEC during past seasons, improve to 2-0 in league play for the first time since the 1990-91 season.
