Summary

The Dragons were coasting to a surprising easy victory over the top-ranked Fishermen, until they weren’t.

Midway through the third quarter, Saint George’s had a 17-point cushion and looked well on their way to the quarterfinals. But Ilwaco orchestrated a monster comeback to take the breath out of the Dragons fans after they were sure of a victory.

The climax of the comeback happened with 1.1 seconds left in regulation as Ilwaco freshman Erika Glenn sunk a 3-pointer from straight on to tie the game at 53-all.

Overtime went the way of the first two and a half quarters as Saint George’s outscored Ilwaco 9 to 1 to complete the comeback many envisioned earlier on in the contest.

Lydia and Ceci Bergquist combined for 40 of the 62 Dragon points. Ceci was 4 for 5 from long range and Lydia did her damage at the free throw line, going 12 for 16.

Post Mia Smith added 10 points with a game-high nine rebounds.

Ilwaco’s Makenzie Kaech led the Fishermen with 25 points, going 9 for 21 from the floor.

Saint George’s advances to play fifth-seeded Colfax on Friday at 3:45 p.m.

Ilwaco plays 11th-seeded Tri-Cities Prep at 9 a.m.
