The game was tight throughout, until Mount St. Mary scored a pair of baskets in the final 30 seconds to pull out the win.

“It was real close and it was anybody’s game until the end,” Niagara Catholic coach Larry Puzan said. “They are a senior-laden team and that probably paid off in the end, but it was a hard fought game.”

Allison Fretthold added eight for the Mount (8-4 overall, 2-2 MMAA). Emily Bird made four 3-pointers and Jen Hare added 11 points for the Patriots (6-8, 2-4).
