Manila entered Friday night's regional semifinals against Melbourne with a state tournament bid already safely tucked away. The Lady Lions were in search of their fourth straight tournament title this season, and looked to be well on their way to reaching the finals, building up a 15 point third period lead. But the Lady Bearkatz stormed from behind, sending the game into overtime, where Melbourne's Shelbie Byram sank an eight foot floater with 26 seconds left, lifting the Bearkatz to a shocking 60-58 victory over the Lady Lions.
