SPRINGFIELD, Mass. — Anthony Atkinson scored 10 points in the final 39 seconds, including a layup at the buzzer, to give Barton College its first NCAA Division II title with a 77-75 victory over previously unbeaten and defending champion Winona State.
Barton ended Winona's two-year, 57-game winning streak and survived a review of the final play by the officials.
"I was just thinking about the next play," Atkinson said. "I got a bucket, then another and the next thing you know, the game's over."
