In a game that was tight all night, North Harrison handed Salem its second its second Mid-Southern Conference loss in a week with a 55-54 overtime victory on Thursday.

North Harrison outscored the Lions 28-27 in the second half and 5-4 in overtime to improve to 9-4 overall and 3-2 in the MSC and earn this week’s Hoosier Hills Hoops Win of the Week honor.

Senior Diana Burgher had 22 points, 10 rebounds and 3 steals and senior Ali Saunders finished with 21 points, 7 assists and 5 boards in her final game in a North Harrison uniform. The Lady Cats shot over 50 percent (21 for 41) in the win and made half of their 3-pointers (9 of 18).

North Harrison is back in action tonight when it hosts Floyd Central (3-9) in its first game without Saunders, who will join the University of Valparaiso team this winter.
