In a State Sectional Semi-Final game at Otsego High School, the Swanton Lady Bulldogs went to the foul line 11 times in the fourth quarter and hit nine of those attempts to seal a 40-29 win over the Northwood Lady Rangers. Swanton took no free throws in the first three quarters and made no shots from the field in the final frame in the victory that sends them to the Sectional Final against fellow NWOAL foe the fifth-seeded Delta Lady Panthers.

The eight-seeded Lady Bulldogs led the entire way, by as many as 14 points in the second half over the seventh-seeded Lady Rangers, but saw that lead trimmed to just five points before the late clutch free throws were made by Alaina Pelland (5/7), Katie Floyd (2/2) and Miranda Yeager (2/2) to shut down the Northwood rally.

The Sectional Championship, also at Otsego High School, will tip off at 6:00 PM on Saturday.

Swanton: 10-6-15-9 = 40 Alaina Pelland (14), Miranda Yeager (12), Emma Crow (5), Olivia Gowing (5), Jessica Finfera (2), Katie Floyd (2)
