The Lady Lions jumped to an early lead in overtime on Carroll's layup, but Pitt-Bradford's Ashle Seidenstricker hit a three-pointer to put the Lady Panthers back on top at 57-56.

A pair of Glasser free throws reclaimed the Penn State Altoona lead before a Janelle Nardozza (Altoona, PA/Altoona) layup put the Lady Lions in front 60-57 with 1:08 left in overtime.

Pitt-Bradford's Danielle Zeamer made two foul shots to narrow the score to 60-59, but the Lady Lions' defense held Pitt-Bradford scoreless on its final two possessions to hang on for the victory.
