Caldwell, N.J. – Sha'Raya Haines made a circus layup to complete a late fourth quarter comeback as the Post University women's basketball team defeated Caldwell, 66-64 on Tuesday evening in an important Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) North game.

With the Eagles trailing 64-63 with under ten seconds left, Haines took the ball at the top of the key, beat her main defender off the dribble. As the defense came to help and collapse on her, Haines took a running hook over the outstretched arms of Caldwell's Lucy Coogan that banked in to give the Eagles the one-point lead. Haines was also fouled on the play,and made the free-throw to take a 66-64 lead with 5.2 seconds left. Caldwell rushed down on the final possession to go for the win, but a charge from Saundra Cleckley gave the Eagles the ball and the win.

The basket was the cherry on top of a 17-5 run to close out the fourth quarter. After a jumper from Coogan gave the Cougars a 59-49 lead, Haines started the rally on the next possession, hitting a three to cut the lead to seven. After the teams exchanged one free throw apiece and a layup from Caldwell's Rebecca Morrison put the Cougars back up 62-53, Tijanae Simmons followed with a three of her own with 2:43 left to make it a 62-56 game.

Caldwell went back up 64-56 with 1:34 left, but Tyara McQueen followed with seven points in 39 seconds, including two-threes to make it a 64-63 game. A missed layup by Caldwell's Casey O'Shaughnessy set the stage for Haines' heroics.
