After the Cyclones tied the game at 42 with 11 seconds left it was up to the talented players of Garden City to try and add another win to their 7-1 record.

With four seconds left, Barbara Sullivan hit a layup off an assist from Diana Leondis giving the Trojans the 44-42 victory, extending the Trojans conference record to 8-1. Also scoring in the win for GC were: Diana Leondis (14), Kim Ryan (14), Barbara Sullivan (11) and Amalia Debrosse (5). Christina Mangels had 11 rebounds.
