The championship game of the Mansfield Round Ball Classic between Lincoln-Sudbury and Woonsocket High School lived up to its name: Instant classic.

The Villa Novans played catch-up all evening long at Mansfield High School, but the team's tenacity paid off as it defeated the Warriors 71-69 in double overtime. Kailey Fugere finished off Lincoln-Sudbury (13-8) in the final seconds of the second overtime when she grabbed an offensive rebound and put it back to score for two of her nine points as time expired.

"The difference was that they made huge shots," Warriors coach Liza Feldman said. "We had three chances to win, but we let them have the last shot too many times."

Woonsocket, which is 13-1 in Rhode Island's Division 1, walked a tight rope all evening. Brooke Coderre, who scored a game-high 30 points, sank a game-tying 3-pointer at the end of regulation. Then, Lauren Masse (8 points) sank another three at the end of the first overtime to extended the game again.

The Warriors were led by junior Bridget Mahoney, who played all 40 minutes while scoring 17 points and grabbing four rebounds.
