New York Mills vs. Underwood

Recap

New York Mills vs. Underwood

#1 Underwood would need overtime to survive and advance, but the team would do that, defeating New York Mills 63-59 on Saturday in Perham, advancing to the Section 6A North Championship.  It was close throughout with 6 ties and 6 lead changes.  Underwood had a 13 point lead slip away in the second half, but the final 20 seconds saw a controversial overturn of an over and back call against Underwood during a timeout, give the ball back to New York Mills, and Isabella Bauck would tie the game with a deep three point shot, and eventually would send the game to overtime.  Underwood would rely on their leaders Liz Lukken and Kallyn Grove to pull out the overtime victory with the final score 63-59.
