There’s cool, and then there’s Tammy Northshield cool.

Northshield, a 5-foot-5 senior guard, made four of five free throws in the final 4.5 seconds Friday night to lift the SHAPE Lady Spartans to a 35-34 victory over previously unbeaten Wiesbaden.

With her team trailing 34-31 with 4.5 seconds to go, Northshield drew a foul on a three-point attempt that would have tied the game. She went to the line and sank all three free throws to tie the score 34-34.

SHAPE then intercepted Wiesbaden’s inbounds pass and Northshield drew another foul on her attempt at a game-winning layup at the buzzer. Northshield missed her first free throw, but sank the second to give her 19 points for the game and SHAPE the victory.

Visiting Wiesbaden got a combined 26 points from sisters LeAmber (14) and LeAndra Thomas (12) in the loss.

Wiesbaden’s second loss of the season wasn’t all that long in coming as SHAPE (4-3 overall) collected another one-point victory on Saturday, 24-23, by outscoring their guests 16-9 in the second half. Northshield led SHAPE in scoring with nine points, while LeAmber Thomas topped the Lady Warriors with seven.
