WASHINGTON (AP) — Preston Edmead scored 22 and hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with three seconds left in overtime to rally Hofstra to a 68-65 victory over Towson on Monday night in a Coastal Athletic Association Tournament semifinal.

No. 3 seed Hofstra (23-10) will play fourth-seeded Monmouth (19-14) for the conference championship on Tuesday with an automatic berth in the NCAA Tournament up for grabs.

Edmead made 8 of 20 shots with five 3-pointers for the Pride. Cruz Davis added 18 points and five rebounds, while Joshua DeCady scored 10.

Tyler Tejada led the seventh-seeded Tigers (19-15) with 29 points and seven rebounds. Dylan Williamson added 15 points.

Hofstra trailed 28-27 at halftime. Davis scored 16 in the second half, but Tejada made two foul shots with 1:06 left in regulation to tie it 55-all and force OT. Edmead hit two 3-pointers, scoring the final six of Hofstra’s 13 points in the extra period.

By The Associated Press
Cheryl Reeve is taking a break from her busy WNBA season to head to Knoxville this weekend and be inducted into the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame. She's only the second WNBA coach to enter the Hall of Fame, joining former Houston Comets coach Van Chancellor, who was inducted in 2001. “(I appreciate) the magnitude of this recognition of the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame and the great work that has gone into this institution,” Reeve said. “To walk around and see the history of how much has been done years before I could ever have this opportunity to coach. Grateful to the WNBA because I think there was some consideration given schedule wise.” Reeve will be joined by WNBA greats Candace Parker and Elena Delle Donne in this year's class. Parker and Delle Donne also will be inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame later this year. Other inductees include ESPN broadcaster Doris Burke, Kirkwood Community College coach Kim Muhl, Spanish star Amaya Valdemoro, French great Isabelle Fijalkowski and Clemson's all-time leading scorer and rebounder, Barbara Kennedy-Dixon.
