ROCHESTER – The FMCC women's basketball began their 2014-15 season playing in Monroe Community College's MCC Kickoff Tournament. On Sunday the FM squad and the Lady Cougars of Genesee CC played a thrilling contest that went into overtime.

Genesee led 76-73 as regulation time was running out.  FM's Jessica Woney launched a three-point attempt but was fouled with just 0.2 seconds left on the clock. Woney stepped to the free throw line and sank all three free throws. The game was tied 76-76 and was headed into OT.
