Melissa Castor sank three free throws in the final 24 seconds to help North Sound Christian turn back Mary Knight, 48-42, in the consolation bracket of the Class 1B girls state tournament Thursday.

Castor, who finished with a game-high 23 points, scored 10 of her points in the fourth quarter. Elyse Bunger added 14 points and 14 rebounds for the Lions.

It was the first-ever victory for NSC at the state tournament.

Mary Knight took its final lead of the game when Amanda Vera sank a field goal to open the fourth quarter and make the score 33-32. But the Lions then reeled off 10 straight points, sparked by a Castor trey, for a 42-33 lead with 4:25 to play.

The Owls rallied back again, closing within two points on two occasions, but couldn't get closer.

Teryssa Toppano led Mary Knight with 14 points, and teammate Alicea Scott pulled down 12 rebounds.

Castor and Hannah Reymore each added eight rebounds for the Lions. Reymore also dished out six assists.
