Carley Turnbull hit a free throw and Tarae Warner canned two, following Becca Gallis' 3-pointer in the final 44 seconds to complete Monmouth's 71-66 come-from-behind win over Ripon, clinching one of four Midwest Conference Tournament berths.

The Fighting Scots trailed by as many as 10 in the first half, but cut the hole to 25-23 on a Josie Morgan 3-ball midway through the second quarter. The Red Hawks countered and took a 37-27 lead at the end of the half, ending the frame on a 12-4 run.

Monmouth's deficit grew to 14 midway through the third period before the Scots rallied again. Back-to-back threes from Warner and Morgan trimmed it to a 51-50 Ripon lead late in the third quarter.

The Scot knotted the game on a Jordan Kintigh layup in the first minute of the final frame, but neither team could gain a lead of more than four until the final seconds when Turnbull's free throw gave Monmouth a 69-64 edge.

The win tied the Scots with Ripon for the top spot in the MWC at 13-3 as the first teams to clinch one of four spots in the tournament. In the event of a tie, Monmouth has the head-to-head tiebreaker over the Red Hawks by virtue of taking both meetings.

Gallis finished with 19 points to lead four Scots in double figures.

Monmouth travels to Cornell Tuesday for a 7:30 p.m. contest before closing the regular season Saturday with a 3 p.m. game at St. Norbert.
