Freshman Gabrielle McDuffie canned a game-tying 3-pointer with 90 seconds left and sophomore Alaina Forbes followed that up with a steal and go-ahead layup as the Thunderwolves won in dramatic fashion.

Forbes, who finished with a game-high 24 points, became the third NCCC women's basketball player to surpass 1,000 points for her career (Michelle Milleville-Lyman & Paige Emborsky). McDuffie netted 19 in the win.
