A staged proposal didn’t go exactly according to plan on Thursday night during Siena’s contest with Manhattan.
During an official timeout, a Siena fan attempted a half-court shot, surprisingly she banked in the 45-foot shot. More surprisingly, she ended up getting engaged moments later to a Dunkin’ Donuts mascot (which was sponsoring the promotion).

Mark Singelais, who covers the game for the Albany Times Union, identified the fan as Erin Tobin.
The proposal was already announced in an embargoed press release by a PR firm this afternoon. Didn't say anything about a halfcourt shot.

Singelais later tweeted that she won a $500 Dunkin’ Donut gift card.
Wild series of events in Albany.
