Things really started to pick up again in the fourth quarter. Both teams were scoring back and forth. At the end of the game, the score was tied 46-46 which meant the game went to overtime.

As overtime was coming to an end Saucon was up by three. Catasauqua’s Ty Reitz scored a three to tie the game 56-56.
