MORAGA, Calif. (AP) -- Marie Ferdinand scored a career-high 21 points to lead No. 22 Louisiana State to a 68-65 overtime victory over St. Mary's in the Walnut Creek Thanksgiving Classic championship game on Saturday night. Ferdinand made two crucial plays to keep the Tigers alive. The first was a field goal with 1:48 remaining in regulation to tie the game at 57-57. In overtime, she grabbed a loose offensive rebound and called timeout while jumping out of bounds with 2:34 remaining. The play set up a two-point basket by DeTrina White. Then Ferdinand stole the ball on the opposite end of the court to set up another LSU score and a 67-62 lead with 56 seconds remaining. A 3-pointer by Tracy Morris with 19 seconds left cut the lead to 67-65 but Katrina Hibbert made one free throw with 11 seconds left for the final margin. April Brown added 19 points and White had 12 for the Tigers. Tracy Morris led Saint Mary's with 18 points while Jermisha Dosty had 12 points. | ALSO SEE Womens College Basketball Scoreboard
