#2 Mattanawcook Academy Survives to Beat #6 Dexter 35-32 [STATS/PHOTOS]

The #2 Mattanawcook Academy Girls Basketball survived and beat #6 Dexter on Thursday afternoon in a Class C Girl's Semifinal.

Dexter led 10-8 at the end of the 1st Quarter, but Mattanawcook Academy held the Tigers scoreless in the 2nd Quarter, to take a 15-10 lead. In the 3rd Quarter, there was a lengthy delay as Lily Wotton suffered a medical emergency on the court and needed to be treated by Bangor EMTs and the Northern Light Trainers on-site. (We wish her well!) When play resumed the Lynx led 25-12 at the end of the 3rd Quarter.

But in the 4th Quarter Dexter stormed back Abilene Corson had 8 points before fouling out. Kayleigh Dunton had 10 points including a 3-pointer with 2.2 seconds left. Dunton had a chance to tie the score but her 3/4 length of the court heave hit the backboard and rim but didn't go in.

Dexter was led by Corson with 15 points including 2 3-pointers. Dunton had 10 points with 2 3's. Kallie Stone had a 3-pointer. The Tigers were 5-8 from the free throw line.

Mattanawcook Academy was led by Megan House with 16 points. Addison Cyr had 14 points. The Lady Lynx were 9-16 from the free throw line.

Mattanawcook Academy will now play #1 Penobscot Valley High School on Saturday, February 15th at 6 p.m. in the Class C Northern Maine Regional Finals.
