CCS Wins Everett Classic in Dramatic Fashion, 82-77 in 2OT

One night after setting a new career high, Ashlee Michelson did it again. This time, the sophomore forward played a remarkable 42 minutes and had 27 points, 11 rebounds and 5 steals to lead the Sasquatch to a gut wrenching double overtime victory over the Trojans of Everett. In a game that saw 10 ties and 19 lead changes, it was some clutch free throw shooting and impeccable offensive execution that allowed the Bigfoot to win. 
CCS trailed 66-60 with approximately 1:30 left to play when freshman Kelsey Stillar hit back to back threes – part of her 17 points and 4 three point total - to tie the score and force overtime. The first overtime saw each team score just three points, moving the game to a second overtime session. Sophomore Ren Mallory set the tone early in the second OT, scoring consecutive baskets that allowed the Bigfoot to build a lead they would not relinquish. Michelson’s foul shooting (4/4 in OT) put the game away to earn the Sasquatch their 5th win of the season.
For their efforts, Ashlee Michelson and Kelsey Stillar were named to the Everett Classic All-Tournament Team. Over the three games Michelson averaged 16.3 points and 10 rebounds, while Stillar averaged 16 points and hit 11 three pointers.
CCS opens its home schedule versus the Alumni on Saturday, December 8th.
