The game ended up 42-39 after some heart wrenchingly close overtimes and tense free throws.
The game ended in double overtime with a hard fought Cub victory. Lock down defense and some key steals helped turn the game, but ultimately it was Kacie Rewerts and Amanda Fortman who hit key free throws late in the game to send them to overtime and to seal the deal in the end.
