Emma Murphy hit a 3-pointer in the final 20 seconds of regulation to send the Roseburg girls to overtime, where the Indians outscored North Medford 11-3 to pull off the win.

Sydnee Muntifering scored five of her game-high 19 points in the extra session to lead Roseburg (6-5, 1-1 SWC). Murphy chipped in eight with a pair of 3-point field goals.

Ali Stevens led North Medford (5-9, 1-2) with 14 points.

The Roseburg girls will visit No. 9 Willamette in Eugene for a conference contest on Friday.
