Megan Kallock had 28 points, including a basket with 8 seconds left in regulation to send the game to overtime, where the Golden Lions made 8 of 12 free throws to seal the win.

Hampton 65, Franklin Regional 37 — Jenna Lafko had 24 points and Alison Collins scored 20 to lead No. 1 Hampton (9-0, 4-0) to a Section 4-5A victory. Kassidy Hubert’s 20 points paced Franklin Regional (6-5, 1-2).

Serra Catholic 58, Jeannette 41 — Aaliyah Coleman had 11 points and 12 rebounds, and Rylan German added 12 points to lead Serra Catholic (5-4, 2-2) to a Section 3-2A victory. Olivia Sirnic scored 17 points and added 16 rebounds, and Dymond Crawford had 16 points for the Jayhawks (4-5, 2-2). Serra started the second half with a 12-4 run to take control.
