That lead would stretch to 10, 65-55, with 9:46 to go in the game, but a 9-0 Northwest run would make it a one point ball game, 65-64, at the 6 minute mark after Sanda Milovic's 3-pointer. With 47 seconds left in the game, Chanara Greene's tip-in would give the Eagles a 76-74 lead, but Elisha Hensey would hit one of two free throws to make it 76-75 with 16 seconds on the clock. Following a time out, Chakala Cartmen would make a single free throw to tie the game with 7 seconds remaining to send the contest into overtime.
 
In the extra period, Northwest would outscore the Yotes 11-2 after an 80-80 tie as a Greene jumper would give the Eagles the lead for good with 2:07 to go.

"It was a gutsy win for our ladies tonight," said Ken Crawford, NU head coach. "I'm proud of the way our team hung in there even being down 10 in the second half and kept battling. We had some player some big plays at key times to help us get the victory over a good C of I team."
