Freshman point guard Lily DePalma hit three three-pointers late in the third quarter and two more in the fourth as Spencerport overcame a 15-point deficit to send the game into overtime before falling to NW Prep 56-48.
The Rangers led through the early stages on two field goals by junior Joie Culkin and a pair of free throws by classmate Megan Zaharkin before the Panthers built a six point first quarter lead into ten by halftime.
Down 36-21 late in the third DePalma got hot from behind the arc hitting on consecutive trips before finishing the half with an old-fashioned three after hitting on a runner and getting fouled as the Rangers cut the lead to eight.
Neither team could get much going offensively through the first four minutes of the fourth quarter before another DePalma trey, a Zaharkin lay-up and a put-back from Culkin cut the Panthers lead to just two.
The teams traded baskets for the rest of the quarter with a DePalma trey with 46 seconds remaining in regulation finally tying the game and, after a NW Prep field goal, a clutch jump shot by Elizabeth Maloney with 19 seconds left sent the game into the extra session.
The Rangers rally ran out of gas as the Panthers scored 11 of the first 13 points to secure the win.
DePalma finished with a game-high 21 points with four rebounds, Culkin led with seven rebounds with her 11 points and Zaharkin added 12 points and five rebounds.
