On Monday, with the clock ticking down, Saint Peter’s senior guard Rachel Kuhl drove to the lane for a layup, putting her team up by four over Central Connecticut State. The shot looked routine, and, while it provided some crucial late insurance, it wasn’t a go-ahead or a buzzer beater. Yet it felt “very surreal,” Kuhl says. The players were ecstatic.
As soon as they got to the locker room, Kuhl and her fellow Peacocks drenched coach Jennifer Leedham, pouring out every water bottle they could get their hands on for a victory baptism.
“They absolutely soaked me,” Leedham says. “It felt like an eternity.”
