Turlock, CA (11/28/08) -- On Friday afternoon, the Academy of Art University women's basketball team, led by senior forward Levalasi Key's 23-point performance, fell to Cal State Stanislaus in a overtime thriller, 80-76. AAU took a 59-38 lead with 8:47 left in the second half when junior guard Jacqui Heck nailed a 3-pointer. That 21 point advantage was not enough to ensure the Urban Knights' first victory of the season, as the Warriors chipped away and eventually tied the game on a three-point basket by Katie Busi with 11 seconds left on the clock. The Knights had one final opportunity to slay the Warriors, but a missed 3-pointer by Key as time expired sent the game to overtime.
