Moira Corrigan's layup tied the game at 60-all before Burke put away two free throws for a two-point lead. Becker came down the next possession and tied it again with her jumper from the charity stripe.

With one minute remaining, Natalie Corso (Moon Township, PA, Moon) drained a triple but 12 seconds later Becker pulls up from beyond the arc and makes it 65-all. The Altoona Lions had a chanceto go ahead, but Daijanae Greene missed the fast-break layup and Corrigan didn't connect from the line on two shots with eight seconds remaining to give Behrend the ball for one last chance.

Bayly got the ball off the inbounds and drove straight to the basket for the game-winning shot.

In the first half, the Lions set the tone in the first seven minutes with a 15-4 run to start the game. Burke tallied 15 of her 26 points in the opening stanza that gave Behrend a 10-point lead at halftime.
