With 14 seconds left and the game tied, Tess Chandler broke to her left and found herself all alone underneath the basket. She gathered in the inbounds pass and went up for the easy layup to give Hopkinton a 52-50 win over Scituate in the Division 2 South Sectional final last night at UMass-Boston.

The win advances Hopkinton to the Garden to face North winner Arlington Catholic tomorrow at TD Garden in the EMass final.

"I set up the play for [Tess Chandler]," said coach Rita Atkinson.

"They caught us by surprise,’’ said Scituate coach Brian Buckley. ‘‘We thought they would go to [Lindsey Doucette] or [Alee Leteria]."

Scituate had one last chance but Megan Otto’s 3-pointer missed as time expired.
