OTEGO – Greene and Unatego started their MAC league game slow, only scoring a combined 20 points in the first half of the contest before giving the fans an exciting finish with the Trojans coming out with the 40-37 road win Wednesday night.

Greene went out in front seven in the first quarter while holding the Spartans to no baskets.

In the second, Unatego outscored the Lady Trojans, 7-6 but Greene still held the six point advantage going into the intermission.

The Spartans fought back coming out of the break, going on with an 11-3 run to bring them within two points heading into the final eight-minutes of play.

The two teams exchanged baskets back and forth throughout the quarter with Unatego holding a slim two point lead with :20 left. But Greene’s McKenna Sergi found Emma Smith to the game four seconds later, sending the contest into overtime.

Again the Trojans found them selves down by two. Until Alyssa Sands hit a 15-foot jumper to tie the game at 36-36. Sands had been quiet through the first three quarters of the game but she came alive when Greene needed her, hitting big baskets for the Trojans at critical times and going 4-for-8 from the foul line down the stretch.

Coming down to free-throws, Greene was able to sneak out the win by nailing three foul shots to the Spartans one.
