Kayla Christopher scored off an offensive rebound with 8.2 seconds left to lift Chattanooga to a 64-63 victory over Davidson in the Southern Conference championship Monday.
The Lady Mocs (29-3) trailed throughout the second half until Christopher grabbed an offensive rebound on the weak side after two missed shots by her teammates and put it back in for the go-ahead score.
Davidson's Laura Murray missed a 15-footer at the buzzer that would have won the game.
