By Shannon Ryan INQUIRER STAFF WRITER For a few moments, Villanova quarterback Marvin Burroughs just sat on the 25-yard line.

Lehigh defensive back Day-nin Blake had just wrapped his arms around Burroughs' ankles and taken down the fleet-footed quarterback with 1 minute, 37 seconds left on the clock at Villanova Stadium. That sack on fourth and 7 in the fourth quarter ruined any hope of a triumphant comeback for Burroughs to his home turf. In his first game on Villano-va's field since 2004, Burroughs back Marques Thompson sprinted 43 yards to take the Mountain Hawks down the field. Two plays later, Matt McGowan bounced outside to take the ball into the end zone from 15 yards out for the go-ahead touchdown and a 31-28 lead. They did all that on five plays in 1:40.

Villanova had just three minutes to put something together in front of 9,219 fans at Villanova Stadium. They could not. Burroughs, who went 9 of 20 for 95 yards, couldn't find an open receiver and then was sacked. Lehigh turned the ball over on downs, and Villanova took over on its own 20, but with just 13.9 seconds left it wasn't enough. Two more incomple-tions ended the game.

Villanova coach Andy Talley was not easy on his team afterward. He blamed not the eight penalties for 65 yards, but the Wildcats' attitude. "I really feel, in a nutshell, the guys did not play with any emotion whatsoever as a team," he said. Talley said he was seriously considering putting his players in a scrimmage today. Villanova was hoping to take a step away from last season's 4-7 campaign, its worst since 1995.

After losing last week to Central Florida, 35-16, the Wildcats are 0-2. The Wildcats took advantage of two Lehigh turnovers, scoring on drives that began with two fumble recoveries, taking a 14-0 lead. Lehigh tied the game with two quick strikes, including a 57-yard punt return by Frank Trovato.

"It was difficult because it was a home game," Burroughs said afterward. "That was heartbreaking, the way we lost." He missed all of last season, suffering an injury in the Wildcats' opener on the road against Rutgers. This one hurt, too. With less than five minutes remaining and a 28-24 lead, a 24-yard field goal attempt by Villanova's Joe Marcoux sailed wide left, adding some last-minute drama. Lehigh capitalized with an 80-yard scoring drive.

Deanna Nolan was named Finals MVR ASSOCIATED PRESS DETROIT Katie Smith has won Olympic gold and an American Basketball League title, and scored 5,000 points in the pros. Entering this season, though, her Hall of Fame resume lacked one crucial element: a WNBA championship. Check.

Smith scored 17 points and had two crucial baskets in the fourth quarter to seal the Detroit Shock's WNRfl Finale victory in Game 5 WNDftrmdi Qver the defending Game 5 champion Sacramento Monarchs. It was De-ShOCk 80 troit's second WNBA ti- 71- tie in four years. MOnarcnS Deanna Nolan was Detroit wins the Finals MVP after a best-of-five 24-point performance series, 3-2. yesterday, but it was Smith who got all the postgame attention. "This one is special," said Smith, who scored in double figures in four of the five games of the series.

"When you are younger, you think you'll get chance after chance after chance, but now I know that's not how it works." Smith hurled the ball high in the air as time expired yesterday, and the party was on at Joe Louis Arena and its announced crowd of more than 19,000 the second- highest total in the history of the Finals. "Katie's a great, great player and she did just what we expected her to do," Shock coach Bill Laimbeer said. "She could have easily been the MVP, too." Shock owner William Davidson, who previously won the NBA title as Pistons owner and the Stanley Cup as owner of the Tampa Bay Lightning, was presented with the WNBA trophy by league president Donna Orender. After the Monarchs decisively won Game 3 at home, the feeling was that they would be able to take the series in Game 4, also at Arco Arena, where they rarely lose. But Detroit roared back with a 20-point win Wednesday.

The game yesterday was the only one of the series not decided by double digits. Sacramento, for a half at least, looked as if it would win two championships in a row. It led for the entire second quarter and took a 44-36 halftime advantage, thanks to Kara Lawson's running jumper with one second remaining. But Nolan scored 10 points during a game-changing 18-3 run to open the second half, and the Shock never trailed again. Nolan said she was relieved that the Shock pulled it out.

"It just felt unreal, because we worked so hard and then the moment finally came and we won it all," she said. It was title No. 2 for Nolan, fellow all-star Cheryl Ford, captain Swin Cash and starting center Ruth Riley, who posed for pictures together on the floor after the game wearing their championship hats. In the locker room, they ran around dumping champagne on anybody and anything. Reserve guard Elaine Powell grabbed Cash's good-luck teddy bear "Shoc-ka" and poured bubbly all over it.

Another Powell Monarchs forward Nicole had a much different reaction to the outcome. "I'm really angry and upset with the way we played," she said. "Detroit is a good team, but when you give a team those transition shots in the final game of the series, it's very disappointing." Nicole Powell refused to give up, draining a three-pointer to draw the Monarchs to within 78-75 with 33 seconds to play. But Smith answered with a 17-foot jumper that she knew would seal the win. "It's over," she said she was thinking.
