Lady Tiger's Defeat Lady Indian's In Overtime

     The pressure of full-court and half-court presses didn’t keep the North East Indians from erasing the host Rising Sun Tigers 12-point lead in regulation, but it did lead to a 53-49 win in overtime for the Lady Tigers.

     The second half charge from a double-digit deficit to a briefly held  lead was capped by an Emily Hammer jump shot in the final minutes. The jubilation didn’t last, as the Lady Tiger’s pounced on turnovers to force overtime.

     Led by senior Heather Lesniowski’s 15 points, the Lady Tiger’s jumped out to a quick lead in overtime and survived for the  4-point win.  The loss dropped the Indians to a 1-5 record, while the win moved the Tigers to a 4-3 record.
