Junior forward Adesuwa Ebomwonyi sent the game into overtime with her only 3-point field goal of the game with 15 seconds left in regulation. Down 48-45 with 15 seconds to go, Ebomwonyi drained a 3-pointer from straightaway atop the 3-point arc to send the game into OT.

In overtime, Westlake outscored the Panthers 8-2 and capitalized on three Panther turnovers in the final 38 seconds. After two Ebomwonyi free throws tied the game at 50-50 with 2:13 in OT, the Lady Chaps took the lead for good on two free throws by guard Cherell Mays (52-50) 11 seconds later. After a missed Panther shot, Mays scored on a layup to push the lead to 54-50 which was followed by the Pflugerville turnovers.

This was the first District loss in two seasons for the Panthers, who won the District 25-5A title last year (16-0) en route to their State Tournament final four semifinal showing.

Westlake shot 50 percent from the floor (20 of 40), while P'ville was hurt by cold shooting, connecting on just 18 of 50 shots (36 percent).

Shooting woes contributed to Pflugerville trailing at the half, 25-20, as the Lady Chaps hit 11 of their 19 first-half shots while the Panthers made six of 16 from the floor.

The Panthers were out-rebounded by a 26-23 margin. Westlake turned the ball over 22 times to Pflugerville's 15 turnovers.

The Lady Chaps were led by a game-high 20 points from senior post Courtney Duever while May added 17.

Pflugerville has five District games remaining and returns to action on Tuesday, Jan. 26 when it hosts Anderson HS in a 7:30 p.m. game at the Panther Gym.
