Shooting potential game-winning free throws in a half-full gym of screaming Indians is one type of pressure.

Shooting free throws in your backyard while the neighborhood boys "moon" you is another.

The latter helped Center Point-Urbana junior Jessica Wooldridge accomplish the former in the first game of Rivalry Saturday at Washington.

Wooldridge made 6 of 8 free throws in overtime and the Stormin' Pointers upset the No. 12 Marion Indians, 57-51, in a Wamac Conference girls basketball game.

"I just had to clear my mind," said Wooldridge, whose 10 points included 8 of 10 free-throw shooting. "I work on it a lot with my neighbors. In our backyard, they're always mooning me and doing dumb stuff trying to distract me. They're like my brothers."

CPU (8-5, 7-4 Wamac) won the game at the free throw line, although it first tried to give it away from there. The Stormin' Pointers, who made 25 of 36 free throws for the game, missed four charity tosses in the fourth quarter that could have put the game away. Two were on the front end of bonus opportunities. They made 8 of 11 in overtime.

"We didn't do it, but then we got a second chance at it and got it done," CPU Coach Philip Klett said.

Marion (10-4, 10-2) tied the game at 45-45 when Dani Peyton made the front end of a pair of free throws with 45.3 seconds left in regulation. After a CPU timeout she missed the second and neither team scored, forcing overtime.

Marion scored first in the extra period on Peyton's layup. CPU ran off the next seven points. Wooldridge made 1 of 2 free throws, Madie Wilkin cashed in a pair and then Wooldridge drained two more before soph Kennedy Salow's bucket pushed the Stormin Pointers' lead to 52-47 with 1:08 to play.

Michalyn Mohr's rebound putback of a missed shot with 52 seconds left pulled Marion within 52-49. Wooldridge made 3 of 4 free throws down the stretch to help spring the upset.

"We knew during the game we missed some shots," Wooldridge said. "We just kept pulling each other back up and kept pushing through it. We knew we wanted it more and that it would come out our way in the end."

Marion Coach Brian O'Donnell said he could tell from the beginning of the game that his girls were in for a battle.

"I felt from the opening tip they were more ready to play than we were," O'Donnell said. "I feel we got outhustled. We didn't make the plays that it took to win and they did. They deserve the credit. They outplayed us and they made the plays when they needed to."

Klett said his players were chomping at the bit to play after having games postponed by weather twice earlier in the week.

"They were anxious to play because we hadn't played since last Friday," Klett said. "I was kind of worried because we couldn't practice yesterday because of weather and we lost a day earlier in the week. But the girls were hungry to play."

CPU led 17-14 after one quarter and 32-28 at halftime, relying on the 3-point shooting of senior Haley Gauley, who had four treys in the first half, five for the game and finished with a team-high 15 points.

"We have to adjust, when a girl catches fire like that, and we just didn't adjust," O'Donnell said.

Jessie Kramer's rebound putback of a missed shot gave Marion a 40-39 lead heading into the fourth quarter.

The lead changed hands three times before CPU built a 45-42 lead. Amanda Sahm's layup and Peyton's free throw tied the game and sent it to overtime.

Although Marion outscored CPU by 11 points from the field, O'Donell said he thought Marion's offense never was in sync. The Indians shot 30.5 percent. Peyton had a game-high 18 points, but was the only Marion player to score in double figures.

"I thought we were very stagnant on offense," he said. "We didn't get the ball reversed. We didn't really attack the 1-3-1. I think our posts never really got themselves involved tonight."

Post players Mohr and Alyssa Jones had four points apiece.

CPU also had a poor shooting night, connecting on 28.9 percent of its shots. The Stormin' Pointers were 2 of 15 in the second half, but made 8 of 14 free throws to stay in the game.

Marion was whistled for 27 fouls, CPU 17. The Stormin' Pointers outscored the Indians 25-8 from the free throw line.

"We could have done a better job on defense, I'll put it that way," said O'Donnell, who was tagged with a technical foul in the first half.

The teams meet again Jan. 31 at Marion.
