Northern York 48, Greencastle-Antrim 43: The Blue Devils streaked to a 22-8 lead after one quarter, but the Polar Bears slowly reeled them in and handed G-A its first loss of the season in a taut Mid Penn Colonial game Friday night in Dillsburg.

After the big first period, Greencastle (12-1, 7-1 MPC) managed only 2 points in the second period, and Northern (12-2) pulled it back to within 24-18. G-A’s surge changed when Haley Noblit picked up her third foul with 6:25 left in the half.

The Bears grabbed their first lead just 15 seconds into the fourth quarter on a pair of foul shots. Noblit’s 3-point effort to tie it with 4 seconds left was tipped and fell short.

Noblit led Greencastle with 21 points and added 4 rebounds and 4 steals. Mia Libby had 11 points, 5 boards and 3 assists, Rylee Henson scored 5 points and had 4 rebounds, and Shaina Overcash had 4 points and 9 boards.
