It took overtime and overcoming an eight-point halftime deficit, but the Monmouth women ran their season-opening win streak to seven with an 80-70 win in overtime at Beloit.
 
Allie Meyers pumped in a double-double for the second straight game, scoring 10 points and pulling down 18 rebounds, three shy of the program record, as Monmouth never led after the 3:08 mark of the first quarter until the overtime period. Beloit nursed the lead until the final 13 seconds of the fourth period when Carley Turnbull's layup knotted the game at 65-all for one of four ties in the second half.
 
Monmouth never trailed in the extra session when Yvonne Ornelas sank two free throws to put the Scots up 67-65 and closed the game out with two more with 23 seconds left to ice the game. Free throws turned out to be crucial in the extra five minutes as the Scots sank nine of their 12 throws.
 
Becca Gallis paced the Scots with a 24-point effort which included three straight free throws in OT. Turnbull added 22 and Shayne Smith chipped in a dozen.
 
Monmouth puts their unbeaten record on the line Wednesday when they travel to Illinois College for a 5:30 contest with the Lady Blues.
