Placeholder Image

Oakdale’s Anna Perrone and Madison Hackbarth came up clutch for the Mustangs during Wednesday night’s Valley Oak League matchup against East Union.

Perrone hit the game-tying, 3-point bucket at the end of regulation and Hackbarth sunk the game-winner at the end of the overtime period as the Lancers (0-3 VOL, 8-6 overall) suffered a 53-51 loss.

“It definitely didn’t feel good,” East Union head coach Jim Agostini said. “Tough league loss.”

The Lancers weren’t able to knock down their free throws.

The Mustangs (2-1, 11-5) extended the game in the fourth quarter, and then won it off consecutive East Union double-bonus misses from the line.

East Union freshman forward Loretta Kakala finished with 16 points. Ruby Daube added 13 and Anna Wood 10 during the loss for the Lancers, who visit Lathrop at 7:15 p.m. Friday night.

Sierra 37, Kimball 36

The Timberwolves trailed the entire game and by as many as nine in the second half. However, Sierra (2-1, 10-6) went on a 12-7 run in the fourth quarter and Tiffany Harris knocked down the game-winning shot with 1.5 seconds left in regulation. Kayla Wilson and Celine Barber both finished with 11 points and Harris pitched in seven.
