Box Score WILBERFORCE, Ohio. – A layup by junior center Leah Washington with one-tenth of a second left on the clock gave the Spring Hill College (SHC) women's basketball team a 62-60 Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC) West Division victory over the Central State University (CSU) Lady Marauders at Beacom/Lewis Gym on Thursday evening.
