Summary

The fourth try was the charm for Colfax as the Bulldogs squeaked past the Northwest Christian 50-49 in their sub-regional championship game. Colfax had lost the previous three games on a combined margin of four points. This time, a scoring outburst in the fourth quarter proved to be enough as the Crusaders' offense took a hit. Treasure Farmer, Northwest Christian's starting point guard, was injured with a concussion early in the fourth, and the Crusaders' 11-point lead quickly evaporated.

Still, Colfax needed one last shot, trailing 49-48 with the clock winding down. On a broken play, freshman Taylor Garcia took her only shot of the game with six seconds left and made it for the win.

Both teams advanced to regionals.
