Marissa Rincon drained a 3-point shot deep in the left corner with no time left Friday afternoon to lift Westview to a 47-46 victory over Hamilton in a wild and wooly finish in the Division I girls semifinals at ASU's Wells Fargo Arena.

Rincon's shot, only the second 3  Westview made in the game  followed a 7-0 run in 52 seconds by Hamilton that brought the Lady Huskies back from a 44-39 deficit with 4.2 seconds left. Hamilton's Ashlee Moore's layup with 4.2 seconds capped Hamilton's run that seemingly put them in the final. Moore finished with 23 points.

Westview (26-6) made three crisp passes on the winning inbounds play that got the ball to Rincon. Rincon got nothing but net as Westview players went wild and Hamilton players dropped to the floor heads in their hands in disbelief.The game-winning play was Gloria Koval to Renee Contreras to Airanna Sesma to Rincon.

"Coach said if I got the ball be ready to shoot," Rincon said. "Coach made up the play. I thought about just knocking it down If I got it."

Westview coach Lisa Contreras credited her players for their execution on of the winning play. She left a message on the grease board in the lockerroom reminding her team of a quarterfinal loss to Hamilton on Feb. 18, 2013.

Westview advances to its second title game in school history. The first was a loss in 5A-2 to Tolleson in 2007. Westview faces Desert Vista, a 54-49 winner over Dobson at 1 p.m. on Saturday (March 1) for the championship at Jobing.com Arena.

A tougher regular-season schedule in 2013-2014 meant more losses for Westview, but those games were the kind of experience missing from the Lady Knights last year when postseason came around.

Hamilton, which finished 21-8, played a solid second half to get back in the game after trailing by as many as nine in the first half. Moore, a senior, netted 19 of her 23 points in the second half and was the catalyst. for the comeback.

Hamilton coach Jeff Kain thought there was 2.6 seconds left when it designed its defense, but an extra 1.6 was put back on the clock after some extra runoff. The 4.2 seconds left when Westview inbounded was the correct time.

Westview was able to distance itself late in the first quarter after the teams traded more turnovers than baskets. By handling the ball better and performing better in halfcourt offense, Westview pushed a three-point lead late in the first period to as many as nine late in the second quarter. Westview led 22-15 at halftime. All of Westview's second-period points were layups or offensive boards. Hamilton committed 13 turnovers in the first half, at least half of them unforced.
