KALISPELL, Mont. — Gavven Desjarlais and Alex Horning scored three points each in overtime, pushing the Trojans past the Wolfpack.
Colby Gennett hit a 3-pointer with 40 seconds remaining for Post Falls to tie it at 44. Neither team got another shot off in regulation.
Desjarlais and Gennett had five rebounds each for Post Falls.
“Gavven played really well throughout,” Post Falls coach Mike McLean said. “Glacier is a big, rugged team that likes to bang around the basket. Gavven did a good job of getting some chances around the basket. Defensively, we were solid all night. We gave up too many offensive rebounds in the second quarter (7), and we talked about not allowing that in the second half. It was a battle, but it showed we’re progressing the way we want to. We had to find a way to win, and we did.”
Post Falls (9-4) faces Flathead of Kalispell today at 1:45 p.m. PST.
Drew Engellant and Bret Michaels scored 12 points each for Glacier.
