Sophomore guard David Schneider’s three-point field goal from beyond the top of the key with 1.5 seconds to play lifted William & Mary to a 58-57 victory over Georgia State in the second opening-round game of the CAA Tournament Championship at the Richmond Coliseum Friday.
Schneider’s sixth three-pointer gave the fifth-seeded Tribe its only lead of the final 33 minutes and sends 15-15 Wm. & Mary into a 2:30 p.m. Saturday quarterfinal game against fourth-seeded Old Dominion. Georgia St. finished the season with a 9-21 record.
Schneider scored all of his team’s eight points during the final 46 seconds and finished with a game-high 20 points. He hit on seven of 12 shots, including six of eight from three-point range, and had three assists and two steals in 38 minutes. His game-winner came after Georgia St. junior guard Leonard Mendez hit on the second of two free throws with 7.9 seconds remaining for a 57-55 Panther lead.
Georgia St. shot 46.7 percent (14-30) to Wm. & Mary’s 31.8 percent (7-22) during the opening half but only 34.8 percent (8-23) during the final period when the Tribe shot 50.0 percent (10-20). Georgia State had a 37-27 rebounding advantage but committed 14 turnovers to only nine by Wm. & Mary and sent the Tribe to the foul line 29 times.
