Leah Palmer drained a 3-pointer with 26.8 seconds left in overtime, part of a 23-point performance that also saw the Geneva defense force turnovers on two late Sycamore possessions in a Vikings win.
Geneva was forcing Sycamore into turnovers early in the teams' battle Thursday, but the Viking defense softened and the turnovers stopped.
"We were a little soft on defense but we definitely toughened up in overtime," Palmer said."We made some key stops and that led to a great offensive basket." Geneva forced nine first-half turnovers but only 13 for the game. But the last two were the biggest. "From the third quarter we're screaming we need more defense," Geneva coach Sarah Meadows said."We're just trading baskets with these kids and I thought maybe a little soft on the defensive end. The last two possessions they came up big with some big stops so that was good."
The loss against Geneva to start the year was part of a five-game losing streak to start the season for Sycamore, which started 1-7.
