Somos Three Caps Thrilling Win

It took extra time, but the Seneca Sting won their fourth game in a row thanks to a last second three by Efstathia Somos (Greece) in a 66-65 thriller over the Durham Lords.

It was redemption for Somos who had missed an earlier shot that would have tied the game.

The teams went back-and-forth all night, creating a number of entertaining moments for the packed crowd.

The Sting led 18-14 at the end of the first quarter, but the Lords came out strong in the second quarter to take a narrow 31-30 lead into halftime.

Looking to keep their win streak alive, the Sting turned the one point deficit into a 45-37 lead before the Lords stormed back with ten consecutive points to take a 50-47 lead midway through the fourth quarter.

Kayla Marshall sent the game to overtime knotted at 56-56 following a last minute three-pointer.

In overtime, the teams exchanged the lead six times with the final change coming on Somos' three pointer with three seconds remaining.

Alcian Satchel (Burlington) led the Sting with 14 points, 5 rebounds and 3 steals. Taylor Allicock (Thornhill) added 12 points, 7 assists and 5 steals. Sarah Givens (Kingston) also reached double figures with 11 points and 7 assists. Sharife Clarke (Mississauga) added a team-high 12 rebounds.

The Lords were led by Marshall's 21 points and 6 rebounds. Lindsay Panchan added a double-double with 17 points and 18 rebounds.

The Sting (5-2) are back in action on Tuesday when they host the Centennial Colts (2-5) at 6:00pm while the Lords (5-3) host George Brown (4-4), also on Tuesday at 6:00pm.
