COLUMBIA, Ky. -- Lindsey Wilson College junior Ashley Rainey and sophomore Jasmine Brimm combined for 49 points on Senior Day today to lift the Blue Raiders to a 77-73 overtime win over visiting St. Catharine (Ky.) College at Biggers Sports Center.

Rainey finished with 29 points and 13 rebounds -- her 15th double-double in 17 games this season -- while Brimm added 20 points in her 41 minutes of action to close out the regular season with a win.

Lindsey Wilson won the back-and-forth affair -- 12 ties and 14 lead changes -- by scoring eight of the game's last 10 points in overtime.

The Blue Raiders improve to 19-11 on the season and 7-9 in the Mid-South Conference. St. Catharine falls to 21-9 and 7-9 in conference play.

Trailing the game 67-62 with just under three minutes remaining in the game, Lindsey Wilson scored five straight points -- all at the charity stripe -- to tie the game at 67-67 with 1:08 left.

St. Catharine regained the lead at 69-67 with 39 seconds left in the game when Kasei Evans scored on a put back. Evans finished with 12 points and 11 rebounds -- one of three Patriots to record a double-double.

Following a foul with 25 seconds remaining, Rainey swished a pair of free throws to tie the game for the 11th time and ultimately send the game into overtime. Rainey made 9-of-11 freebies to go along with her 10-of-17 shooting from the field.

St. Catharine had a pair of chances to win the game in regulation, but was unable to capitalize on its opportunities in the waning seconds.

In overtime, Evans once again pushed the Patriots into the lead with a basket 38 seconds into the extra frame. It would be the last St. Catharine points until Evans scored the team's final bucket of the day with 42 seconds left in the game.

While the Patriots struggled offensively in the overtime, four different Blue Raiders scored.

Freshman Monny Niamke tied the game for the 12th and final time with a fastbreak layup that knotted the game at 71-71. Following a St. Catharine miss and a foul, Rainey buried two more free throws to give the Blue Raiders the lead for good at 73-71.

Lindsey Wilson senior Ashley Franklin all but sealed the game with a driving layup with 1:19 left to give the Blue Raiders a 75-71 lead. Niamke and Brimm each added free throws inside the final minute to secure the win.

Neither team could boast about its offense today as Lindsey Wilson shot 37.1 percent (23-of-62) from the field while the Patriots ended the day making just 33.3 percent (27of-87).

St. Catharine's Janae Howard and Reilly Poirier joined Evans with double-doubles as the Patriots out-rebounded the Blue Raiders 65-46. Howard finished with 15 points and 11 rebounds while Poirier tallied 10 points and 14 rebounds.

Lindsey Wilson returns to action at 7 p.m. CT on Thursday, March 1, as the sixth-seeded Blue Raiders face No. 3-seed Georgetown (Ky.) College in the MSC Tournament quarterfinals at the Frankfort Convention Center in Frankfort, Ky.
