"We're all saying 'shoot, shoot, shoot,' she was looking for somebody to pass to," Fort Hays coach Annette Wiles said on her postgame radio show. "I know she feels absolutely horrible.
"We have another game in 48 hours, we can't have a player down," Wiles added.
On Monday, Fort Hays (9-12, 3-9) plays in Warrensburg, Mo., against University of Central Missouri.
In Saturday's game, Missouri Southern (16-5, 7-5) made a 3-pointer at the buzzer to take a 34-33 halftime lead.
