MANISTIQUE — The Manistique girls had trouble putting the ball through the hoop in overtime here Monday night in a 55-51 basketball loss to the Newberry Indians.

Manistique led 38-32 after the third quarter of the nonconference contest.

“It was kind of a back-and-forth game,” Emeralds coach Dave Winkel said. “Newberry went up by two points in the overtime and they were able to burn some time off the clock. They took real good care of the ball and we didn’t quite make enough shots down the stretch to keep pace.”

The Emeralds (1-2) had a chance to win in regulation, but Emilee McDaniel’s 3-point shot from the wing bounced out of the rim at the buzzer. She finished with 12 points and 13 rebounds.

Katie Rahilly scored 25 points for Newberry (1-1), which led 16-9 after the first quarter.

The Emeralds won the JV game 31-26.
