MIAMI SHORES, Fla. -- The Buccaneer's women's basketball team had a chance to grab an upset win over the Lynn Fighting Knights on Wednesday, Feb. 27, when Harriet Swindells put up a shot at the buzzer with the Bucs down by one point. Unfortunately the heave bounced off the backboard and couldn't catch rim.
