Boiling Springs 31, Greencastle-Antrim 29: Freshman Molly Starner scored on a driving left-handed layup as the buzzer sounded to lift the Bubblers over the Blue Devils in a Mid Penn Colonial game Friday night.

The Blue Devils led by two points with 35 seconds left, but Julia Fulton hit a 3-pointer from the corner to give the home team a 29-28 lead. G-A (9-5, 5-3 MPC) tied the game with 20 seconds remaining when Sayge Wilhide made 1 of 2 from the foul line.

Heading into the fourth quarter, Greencastle led 19-16, but the Bubblers (6-8, 4-4 MPC) scored the next nine points. Back-to-back threes by Wilhide and another trey by McKenna Rakaczewski gave their team a 29-27 advantage.

Wilhide scored 7 for G-A and Lauren Pool had 6 points and 9 rebounds. Greencastle has dropped three of its last four games.
