The Mohawk High girls basketball team delivered down the stretch last night.

The Lady Warriors scored the game’s final 11 points to rally for a 30-25 WPIAL Section 2-AA home victory over Riverside.

Mohawk (5-0 section, 9-4 overall) trailed 25-19 with just under three minutes left before mounting the comeback. Shelby Brown was 5 of 7 from the foul line during the stretch for the Lady Warriors.

“It just happened so fast,” Mohawk coach Mike O’Lare said of the final moments. “(Riverside) went into a delay to kill the clock.

“With the score being what it was and two good defensive teams going at each other, at some point you have to take a risk. We started to press a little bit and it seemed to kickstart us. Then we got into a position where they had to foul us.”

The win keeps the Lady Warriors in first place in the section by a half-game over Beaver Falls (5-1, 7-6).

Lucia Fee and Hannah Morrow teamed up to limit the Lady Panthers’ top duo of Alexis Deep and Nicole Mansfield. Both girls came in averaging just under 20 points a game.

Deep and Mansfield both scored 11 points each to lead Riverside.

“Mansfield and Deep are a two-headed monster,” O’Lare said. “Fee and Morrow did an outstanding job on those two; they do things that don’t always get into the scoring column.”

Brown netted a game-high 14 points for Mohawk and Paige Ruby was next with 10. Ruby drained two clutch field goals in the fourth frame.
