Leilehua wins after Mililani forces OT
Mililani fought back from a 10-point halftime deficit to send the game into overtime, but clutch shooting by Leilehua proved to be too much as the Mules held on to defeat the Trojans 38-32 in overtime.
Mililani's Chantel Tanuvasa, who finished with 15 points, sent the game into overtime with a layup in the closing seconds.
In the extra period, Leilehua's Brittaney Stafford went 6-for-6 from the free-throw line to seal the game.
Stafford scored a game-high 17 points and Ashley Gonzales added 15 for the Mules.
