NEW BERLIN – The second half adjustments made by Unadilla Valley head coach Brandi Whitbeck proved to be a huge game changer as the Storm erased a slow start 10 point lead held by the Greene Trojans to win in overtime 56-53 in Tuesday’s MAC league girls basketball contest.

Shooting 11-for-15 (73.3-percent) at the free-throw line, Greene went into the halftime break up 10 which is a position they had been in many time before.

“We switched defense in the second half and that made a big difference,” said Whitbeck.

And it showed as UV came out of the locker room and went on a 17-11 run in the third with seven of their team points coming at the free-throw line.

Still holding a three point lead into the fourth, the Lady Trojans scored nine of their 11 point from behind the three-point arc.

But the Storm continued with their defense that seemed to disrupt the Greene offense while keeping their offensive pace from the third quarter. UV’s Julia Oglesby scored eight in the final quarter, including the game-tying basket to force the extra basketball session.
