Manhattanville rallied late to hand the Misericordia University women's basketball team a 66-63 loss in their regular season finale, Saturday.

Hannah Seely led the Cougars with 17 points while Christine Marks added 15 and Kayla Sileo had 11.

In a back-and-forth game, the Cougars rallied from a six-point deficit midway through the second half and most of the way down the stretch.

But the Valiants took a 64-63 lead with seven seconds remaining and added two free throws with two seconds left.

Down 41-35 with 12:35 to go, Sileo sandwiched a pair of jumpers around two free throws by Lauren Smicherko to forge a 41-41 tie with 10:53 to play.

Sileo put the Cougars ahead, 44-41, with a three-pointer on the next possession.

The Cougars took a 48-43 lead on layups by Marks and Jesse Robinson with 8:07 remaining.

Manhattanville rallied for a 54-53 lead with 3:57 left, but Marks converted a three-point play to give MU a 56-54 lead at 3:15.

After the Valiants tied it, Tyann McDaniel's layup put MU ahead, 58-56, with 2:01 to play.

Manhattanville answered again and Seely put Misericordia back in front, 60-58, with two free throws and her steal and layup made it 62-58 with under a minute to play.

The Valiants scored four straight points and Smicherko gave the Cougars their final lead, 63-62, with a free throw with 21 seconds remaining.

Misericordia concludes the regular season at 15-10 overall and 10-4 in the Freedom.  The Cougars will host DeSales in a Freedom Conference semifinal, Wednesday at 6:00.
