Summary

For the second day in a row, it appeared the Mules were on their way to a poor offensive showing. Down 20-13 at half, the Mules couldn’t buy a bucket.

But Paige Mace and Macie Elliott scored 14 points apiece to will their team to an overtime win over the ninth-seeded Eagles.

The Mules shot just 24 percent from the field in the first half but came back to make 42 percent of their shots in the second half. They turned it on in the extra frame, knocking down 3 of their five shots to advance to the next consolation round.

Alea Yun led Life Christian Academy with 18 points while no other Eagle had more than eight.

Wahkiakum advances to play top-seeded Ilwaco in the fourth/sixth place game on Saturday at 8 a.m.

Life Christian Academy was eliminated.
