The Lady Blues had their 11-game winning streak snapped and fell to 20-4 overall and 13-2 in the MIAA. They remain second in the conference standings. Central Missouri improved to 17-5 and 11-5 in the MIAA.
Williams put Washburn ahead 68-67 with a 3-pointer with 28 seconds left to give her 34 points, surpassing the 31 she scored during her three-year career at Seton Hall. That gave Washburn its first lead since the 16:34 mark of the first half but Central Missouri's Nicole Caddell hit a lay-up with 4.8 seconds remaining to give the Jennies a one-point lead.
Stevi Schultz missed a 3 at the buzzer to give the Lady Blues their second loss in MIAA play and at home this year.
Williams went 12 of 17 from the field and 7 of 9 from 3-point range. Both those field goal totals were season highs in the senior's only year at Washburn. Her 34 points is the seventh most in school history. She added five assists.
Cassie Lombardino scored 13 points off 6 of 12 shooting.
Casyn Buchman and
Tiara George each scored six points, next best for Washburn.

Washburn trimmed the lead to single digits early in the second half and after UCM went up by 11, 64-53 at the 6:36 mark, Washburn used a 9-0 run to get within two with 3:09 remaining. Williams and Lombardino scored the only points during that stretch.
A jumper by Lombardino with 1:45 remaining cut UCM's lead to 65-64 but Shaquanda Wiggins answered with a basket 20 seconds later. Williams made one of two free throws with 1:14 left and then got a defensive rebound on UCM's next possession. Twenty seconds later she hit her 3-pointer that gave Washburn its first lead since the first half but Central answered with the heartbreaker in the final seconds.
Washburn out-scored the Jennies 36-25 in the second half but came up one point short after UCM had a 44-32 halftime advantage.

McHenry reaches milestone 300th win
Ron McHenry began his 12th season with the Lady Blues in 2011-12 and his 87-63 win on December 17 against Missouri Western gave him the 300th win in his career, all at WU. McHenry now has a 310-64 (.829) record.
McHenry entered the season second in NCAA Division II history with an .829 winning percentage (among coaches with at least 10 years) and second among active coaches in winning percentage (among coaches with at least five years). Thirty-six active DII coaches had reached the 300-win level and McHenry became the 37th. Among coaches who have at least 300 wins, only Lloyd Clark (Delta State 1984-2002) has a betting winning percentage (.834).
McHenry has had at least 23 wins in every year but his first. He's reached the 30-win mark three times. After a 13-14 record in his first season, 2000-01, McHenry has brought the Lady Blues to the NCAA tournament 10 straight times.
McHenry, a national champion in 2004-05, is the Washburn career leader in winning percentage among the five coaches since the program started in 1969-70. He is second in career wins at WU behind Patty Dick with 431 from 1977-00.
Lady Blues jump to 11th in USA Today ESPN national poll
The Lady Blues earned their highest ranking of the season with a No. 9 spot in the USA Today ESPN National Coaches' Poll released Tuesday. This is the second time Washburn has been in the top 10 this year after earning a No. 10 spot in the week 1 poll.
Washburn won twice last week to move its record to 20-3 and its winning streak to 12 straight. The Lady Blues are the highest ranked team in the region after Northeastern State dropped from 10th to 14th. MIAA foe Pittsburg State is 10th and Emporia State is 20th.
The Lady Blues have been ranked in all 11 polls this year. They were left out of the final poll last year but have been ranked in 151 of the last 152 polls, dating back to week three of the 2002-03 season. This is the highest ranking since week 8 of last year.
Washburn earns 11th straight 20-win season
Washburn's 75-55 win February 4 against FHSU was the 20th of the season, giving the Lady Blues their 11th straight 20-win season. The Lady Blues last failed to reach at least 20 wins in 2000-01, head coach
Ron McHenry's first year. During that streak, Washburn has had three 30-win seasons.
Overall, Washburn has had 22 seasons with 20 wins or more and five of them have yielded at least 30 wins. Washburn's record for wins in a year is 35 in 2004-05, the national title year.
MIAA coaches and media pick Lady Blues first
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The Lady Blues were picked as the team to beat in the MIAA's coaches and media preseason polls released during the MIAA Virtual Media Day. Washburn was a unanimous pick in the coaches poll and earned 12 of 16 first place votes in the media poll.
The Lady Blues, second-place finishers last year with a 22-7 overall record and a 17-5 MIAA mark, were picked in front of Emporia State in both polls. Defending regular season and tournament champion Northwest Missouri was picked third in the media poll and tied for fifth in the coaches poll.
Lady Blues lead nation in 3-point shooting; near top of several other NCAA statistical categories
The Lady Blues are in the top 20 of nine different statistical categories in the February 5 NCAA report. Washburn ranks first in the nation in 3-point field goal percentage (.396) and is in the top five in rebound margin (+12.3), scoring margin (+20.3), and field goal percentage (.471). The Lady Blues are in the top 20 in assists per game, assist to turnover ratio, field goal percentage defense and scoring offense and defense.
Ebonie Williams ranks 32nd in the nation shooting .533 from the field and
Stevi Schultz is 39th in 3-point field goal percentage (.387) and 53rd in 3-pointers per game (2.3).
The Lady Blues rank highly in rebounds because they have only been out-rebounded four times this year. Their shooting percentages are helped by the fact that they've shot 50 percent or better from the field eight times and 45 percent or better from long range nine times. They have only allowed opponents to shoot 40 percent or better twice this year.
Williams' two-school career closing with huge numbers
Senior guard

Williams' .544 shooting percentage this year is a career high. She had never shot better than .419 at Seton Hall. Her 15.3 points a game is also a career high. Her sophomore year in 2008-09 she shot .419 and averaged 13.2 points a game to earn second team all-Big East honor.
Schultz takes over 2nd in career 3-pointers at Washburn
Senior guard
Stevi Schultz is second in school history, now with 190 3-pointers in her career. Earlier this year she passed Lora Westling, who had 144 from 2001-05. Brooke Ubelaker (2003-07) is the career leader with 236 at WU.
This year she's shooting a career-high 38 percent from 3-point range. Schultz' 82 3-pointers last year was the fourth-highest single-season total in school history.
Schultz 40 points from 1,000 club
Stevi Schultz has 960 career points in her four years at Washburn and her 11.1 points a game this year has her on average to pass 1,000 points before the regular season ends. She would become the 21st Lady Blue to reach 1,000 career points. Corkey Stiger was the last to reach that milestone, scoring 1,047 in two seasons from 2006-08.
