NORTH CLARION 49, KEYSTONE 47
FRILLS CORNERS, Pa. – Lindsay Zacherl’s layup as time expired at the end of the second overtime kept North Clarion unbeaten with a 49-47 win over visiting Keystone.

Watch the game-winning shot.
Michaela Higgins had tied the game at 47 when she hit the back end of a two-shot foul with 19.3 seconds to play, and North Clarion, which also beat Keystone in double overtime last year, got the ball back when Taylor Geer was called for a travel with 8.4 seconds to go.
Obenrader, who finished with 24 points and 21 rebounds, then drew four Keystone defenders to her before dishing to the wide open Zacherl for the game winner.
Higgins had a chance to win the game at the end of regulation when she was fouled after getting a steal with 2.6 seconds left and the game knotted at 36. But she missed the free throw and the game went to overtime.
