Written by: Bruce Badgley on February 24, 2021

(Shillington) As two time defending BCIAA Tournament Champions Governor Mifflin came into this years tournament with a big target on their back. Wyomissing entered Wednesday Nights action off a tight first round win. The Spartans have been a tough out all season long. Wyomissing Head Coach Aaron Anders had his team in a stingy zone defense most of the night. Coach Anders spirited Lady Spartans led for most of regulation. The contest took OT to settle, but Wyomissing (12-5) came away with a 50-48 overtime win over Governor Mifflin (15-5) Wyomissing will take on Berks Catholic Friday for the BCIAA Tournament Championship.

Abby Doyle who hit the game winning free throws with :02.4 seconds left in OT led Wyomissing in scoring with 20 points. Jocelyn Grosch paced the Mustangs with 17.
