When Chelsea Turcer noticed that nobody was bothering to guard her and her, she figured that it was time to put the nail in the coffin.
Alexander had already overcome a nearly double-figure deficit in the third quarter to take the lead and she wanted to put the game away.
She did just that as she chucked up and made a 3-pointer to wrap up the Trojans 53-48 win over Pembroke in a great Genesee Region League game Friday.
A lot of things happened before Turcer drained the trey that most will remember from this game.
Alexander was up 10-5 early on before Danielle Smith scored and hit a pair of foul shots to cut the lead to 10-9 at the end of the first quarter.
Alexander's Anni Lehtola opened the second quarter with a 3-pointer and had another bucket early on as the Trojans kept the lead around two points.
But the tide changed in the final minute of the half.
Jackie DuBois scored two consecutive baskets to give Pembroke a 26-25 lead - their first of the night - with 37 seconds left in the half.
That burst of momentum took a little bit in the third quarter as the Trojans regained the lead on a free throw by Lehtola, but by the midpoint the lead had grown to nine points.
Kelsey Lewis hit a long jumper, Nicole Sharick dropped in a basket and then a 3-pointer to give Pembroke a 36-29 advantage.
Katie Hackett extended the lead with a basket and then added another score with about a second left in the third quarter to give Pembroke a 42-35 lead going into the final frame.
Alexander has had issues in the third quarter this season, but always seems to right things in the fourth.
Again, the Trojans stepped up to the challenge.
Nicki Laird and Rachael Pettys had baskets before Lehtola hit a 3-pointer to get within two points.
Sarah Herman tied the game with a basket and Alexander wound up taking a 48-46 lead when Pettys scored. Katie Kochmanski added another basket to make it a four point game.
The Dragons did score with 40 seconds left, but Turcer's 3-pointer with seconds left ended the game.
Lehtola had 15 points to lead the Trojans, with Pettys adding eight points, 15 rebounds, four steals and two blocked shots. Anna Dominick had 13 points with three boards and four steals as Alexander improves to 11-4.
Sharick led the Dragons (9-7) with 11 points, but Lewis chipped in nine points and Pettys had eight.
