Neither team was able to gain a decisive advantage in the second overtime, setting the stage for the thrilling climax. With the score knotted at 86, Clark, who had struggled from beyond the arc this season, stepped up and drained her fourth 3-pointer of the night to seal the win for the Lady Aggies. "Chaniya Clark!
