In their first meeting back in December, it took until the final seconds for the UW-Superior women's basketball team to pull out a dramatic 70-65 win over the UW-Stevens Point Pointers.

Their second meeting took even a bit longer to decide.

The Pointers rallied from an 11-point second half deficit and overcame a last second, game-tying three-pointer by Connie Urmanski (Edgar, Wis./Edgar) to hold on for an 89-78 overtime victory over the Yellowjackets at Berg Gymnasium in Stevens Point.

UW-Superior fell to 16-4 overall and 8-3 in WIAC play while the Pointers, who went 31-of-40 from the free throw line, improved to 16-4 and 8-3 with the victory.

The Yellowjackets got off to a good start in the first half, jumping out to a 7-4 lead behind a three-pointer by Kristen Nett (Green Bay, Wis./Bay Port), a jumper by Hillary Peterson (Sturgeon Lake, Minn./Moose Lake) and a layup from Deandra Vavra (Cambridge, Minn./Cambridge-Isanti) in the first 3:12 of action.

UW-Superior remained in the lead for most of the first half, taking their largest lead at 28-20 on two more free throws by Vavra with 4:45 remaining on the clock before heading into the intermission holding a 35-29 lead thanks to a three-pointer by Allyssa Lindberg (Marquette, Mich./Marquette) in the final minute of the opening frame.

Five quick points from Sam Barber in the first 2:17 of the second half brought the Pointers to within 37-34 with 17:43 remaining in regulation.

The Yellowjackets went on to score the nine of the next 13 points to up their lead to 46-38 following another jumper by Lindberg with 14:15 showing on the clock.

UW-Superior continued to hold the lead over the next 10:49, taking their largest lead of the game at the 10:24 mark when Sally Linzmeier (Valders, Wis./Valders) connected on two free throws to give the Yellowjackets a 53-42 bulge.

But the Pointers steadily rallied from there, finally tying the game 62-62 on a driving layup by Alyssa Olp with 3:26 remaining in regulation.

Three straight free throws from Myranda Tyler and Barber in the minute gave UW-Stevens Point a 69-66 edge in the final 12 seconds.

Vavra found Urmanski in the left corner for the tying as time expired however, sending the game into overtime even 69-69.

In overtime, the Pointers connected on 16 free throws while limiting the Yellowjackets to just 4-for-10 shooting to pull away for the victory.

The Yellowjackets were led offensively by Linzmeier with 21 points and 10 rebounds. Urmanski added 16 points while Nett pitched in with 15 points.

UW-Stevens Point was paced by Barber with a game-high 27 points. Olp and Tyler added 13 points while Brooke Allen had 11 points and Josi Schultz 10 for the Pointers.

The Yellowjackets will host UW-Stout Wednesday night at Mertz Mortorelli Gymnasium. The opening tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. The game can be heard locally on 91.3 FM KUWS with Matt Johnson on the call.
