Arlington’s 5-foot-8 junior guard made five free throws in the last 23.8 seconds of overtime to lead the Lady Eagles to a 57-52 win over Edmonds Woodway in the 3A Northwest District 1 Girls Basketball Tournament Feb. 21.

With the win, the Eagles advance to state. They will play at 2 p.m. Saturday Feb. 28 against Shadle Park at Mount Spokane High School.

Castaneda scored nine of her 10 points in the overtime period. The Eagles won the game at the free throw line, making 14 of 18, compared with 6 of 13 for the Warriors.

Jayla Russ, a 6-foot junior forward, led the winners with 17 points before fouling out with 1:17 to go in overtime and her team ahead 50-47. Jessica Ludwig, a 5-foot-9 senior guard, added 13 points, including a 3-pointer with 12 seconds left that knotted the score at 43-43 and sent it into overtime.

Arlington took a big lead at halftime 25-15 after holding Edmonds to four points in the second quarter, but the Warriors battled back with a couple of 3-pointers in the third quarter to pull within 34-31 after three.

After giving up the lead, the Lady Eagles went ahead 40-37 on an inside shot by Russ and a drive to the hoop by Ludwig. But they then went on a cold streak and didn’t score for three minutes, falling behind 43-40 before Ludwig made her big-time shot.

Ludwig scored after grabbing an offensive rebound, then drove to the hoop for another tally as Arlington went up 50-45. From there, Edmonds-Woodway had to foul and Castnada could not miss from there.
