OTTAWA, Ont. - Making a late fourth quarter comeback to force overtime, the Durham College women's basketball team fell 74-65 in the extra period on Friday night.

Down 53-39 after three quarters of play, the Lords outscored the Thunder 21-7 in the fourth to draw even. The guard duo of Dekota Kirby (Markham, Ont.) and Alyssa Navarro (Oshawa, Ont.) scored seven points apiece in the explosive fourth quarter, while the Durham defence held Algonquin to just 17 per cent shooting from the field.

However, the Lords were undone in overtime by foul trouble, allowing the Thunder to take 14 free throws, versus just two shots from the stripe for the Lords.
