Summerland survived a late rally by Boyd County to earn a hard-fought 44-41 win Saturday in the conference consolation matchup in Atkinson.
Ashley Koenig led the Bobcats with 16 points and cemented her name in basketball history as she reached the 1,000 point career mark.
Summerland took control in the first quarter, leading 10-1 at the break and maintained a 21-10 lead at the half.
In the third quarter, the Lady Cats extended the lead to 30-20, but could never pull away from the Spartans.
A pesky full court press and physical play kept Boyd County in the game, as they narrowed the margin to two points with less than a minute remaining.
Sidney Stallbaum pulled down 11 rebounds and Brenna Wagner dished four assists in the win.
