ELK GROVE, Calif. – Senior Brianna McGahan and junior Sydney Teoh each drained four three-pointers en route to 24 and 18 points, respectively, while freshman Tayli Paeu-Lindgren scored eight of her 10 points in the final eight minutes of St. Francis' 62-58 overtime victory over Cosumnes Oaks in a Delta League girls' basketball doubleheader at the Wolf Den Thursday night.

The Troubadours improve to 10-11 for the year and 5-2 in league play. More importantly, the win completes a home-and-home sweep against the Delta League's current front runner, as the Wolfpack now drop to 6-2 in conference action.

McGahan hit 4-for-8 from beyond the three-point arc to go with team highs of eight rebounds and five steals. Teoh knocked down 4 of 6 from long range, including one at the 3:34 mark in overtime to provide the contest with its seventh overall tie. As for Paeu-Lindgren, she scored on an assist from Chidera Okoye to put the SF on top, 51-49, with 3:20 in the fourth. She later blocked a driving Isabel Tan with about two minutes left, then converted an assist from Teoh on the other end for a 53-50 lead at the 1:29 mark. Finally, Paeu-Lindgren had the 60-58 go-ahead bucket, with 3:05 left in overtime; then helped ice the game by sinking two bonus free throws with 20 seconds remaining.

Overall, the two teams battled tightly in the first half, exchanging leads nine times before a 15-2 Troubie run flipped a 23-21 deficit into a 36-25 edge down the back half of the second period. Laila Mendoza began the comeback with a steal that led to a Teoh three at the 4:19 mark, then Mendoza drove the lane to make it 26-23. McGahan and Teoh each scored twice to expand the lead to 34-25, with Paeu-Lindgren's cut through the paint boosting SF to its first double-digit lead of 36-25.

McGahan, Teoh and Lexi London each hit three pointers in the third to keep the Troubies in front by a 48-34 margin heading into the final regulation period. However, CO answered swiftly with a 13-0 run. Caitlin Subejano assisted Tan on a three-pointer to start that comeback, then she scored three more times herself. Then with 3:39 left in regulation, a midcourt trap by Subejano and Tan led to another Subejano fast break. That tied the game at 49-49, the first knot since a CO trip to the free-throw line in the early minutes of the second.

From that point, Paeu-Lindgren went to work with her offensive outburst. With the Troubies up by a 53-50 margin, Tan missed a step-back three but CO won the offensive rebound. Instead, Subejano hit a baseline floater with 0:55 remaining to close the gap to a single point. Teoh drew a foul underneath and sank both foul shots to push SF back up by a 55-52 lead.

At that point, an unexpected face came up huge for the Wolfpack: sophomore Sophia Mendenhall buried a corner three for her first basket of the game with just 14 ticks left in regulation. St. Francis now had possession, and a chance to win before overtime. McGahan won an offensive rebound and drew a foul by senior center Kym Hartman with roughly a second remaining. However, the clock did not stop on the official's whistle, and even after the discrepancy was corrected, Hartman's foul was ruled as a non-shooting foul on the rebound rather than the shot. McGahan could not get a catch-and-shoot opportunity to land, and the two teams went to extra time.

Tan, the reigning Delta League Player of the Year, drew first blood in overtime with a 25-footer, giving CO its first lead since the midpoint of the second. On the following possession, Teoh pulled up from the top of the key and hit a trey of her own. Soon after, Teoh followed with her feed to Paeu-Lindgren for the game-winner. Down two possessions, Tan and Mendenhall each fired shots but came up empty, with time expiring before the Wolfpack could hoist a third attempt.

The varsity win followed a more decisive 55-14 victory by St. Francis' JV Gold in Thursday's opener. Sophomore Nevaeh Gavino scored a team-best 14 points, including back-to-back threes to end of the first half. Freshman Layla Hernandez narrowly missed her seventh double-double, finishing with 12 points and nine rebounds. Freshman Audrey Bashore added seven points with seven rebounds, while notching four of her five steals as part of a 20-2 run in the third period.

Both JV Gold and varsity return to action at home against Delta League contender Franklin on Wednesday. In the interim, SF JV Red plays twice on the road: at El Dorado on Friday (4 p.m.) and Oak Ridge on Tuesday (4:30) p.m.
