Crystal Lake South's Laken LePage hit a running, one-handed shot with 5.5 seconds left on one end of the court and swatted away Prairie Ridge's shot at the buzzer on the other end to send Tuesday's Fox Valley Conference game to overtime.
"The body image was poor," Taege said."So we just tried to instill a fresh-start mentality and come out and act like it's opening tip of the first quarter. You can't let what happened prior carry over. I still think we were in a little bit of a fog, but they snapped back quick and got going. An early bucket always helps."
Koeppen, who had eight points and nine steals, wasn't too bummed about getting to play some more, as long her team got the win. In the fourth, South forward Nicole Molgado scored on a putback to tie the game at 40 with 45 seconds to go. Prairie Ridge's Izzy Pollastrini then banked in a short jumper to give the Wolves the lead back with less than 30 seconds left.
For Prairie Ridge, Koeppen came into the game feeling under the weather but came up big for her team in big moments.
