With Jamie Smith on the sidelines with a broken nose and minor concussion,
it was time for the rest of the Raiders to step up and figure out a way to
beat a pesky Owl team without their leading scorer and rebounder.

The first quarter saw a lack of scoring from both teams as it ended with a
5-4 score, advantage Raiders. But, as the game went on, the bigger Owls
started scoring more from down low. It was 16-16 at the half.

By the end of the third quarter, the Owls had taken the lead at 27-25 and
also had the momentum.

With 4:23 left in the final quarter, it was 32-27 for the Owls. At 2:36
left it was 37-29 for the Owls. At this point, a lesser team would have
folded up their tent and gone home as it was looking very bleak. But, the
maturity on the senior laden Raiders team showed through, the defensive
pressure increased, and the Owls were forced into errors that turned into
points for the Raiders.

The Raiders went on an 8-0 run to tie it at 37-37 with a few seconds to go.
A shot at the buzzer missed and the game went into overtime. The Raiders
owned the overtime outscoring the Owls 11-6 for the victory.

Kylie Ahloa had a big scoring night for the Raiders with 17, followed by
Dayna Jandoc with 10, Chanel Hirata 9, Hailey Maeda 6, Lahela Usui 4 and
Tami Konishi 2. The Raiders made 7 three pointers.
