Tied after four quarters of regulation and two overtime periods, Palatine finally claimed a 15-14 victory with a sudden-death goal at Conant in Mid-Suburban West girls water polo on Thursday.

At the end of the fourth, Rachel Chumbook scored on a penalty shot with 11 seconds left to put the Pirates up by a goal. But Conant's Angela Skittone tied it back up with 1 second left with a rebound goal.

Early in the first OT session, Conant lost a player to a third ejection and had to play with one less player than the Pirates for the remainder of overtime. The Cougars still managed to scored 3 goals and force sudden death.

Chumbook had the decisive goal on a rebounded shot attempt. She finished with a game-high 10 goals, and Caroline Wojtas had 4 goals for Palatine (4-6, 2-2).

Skittone (5 goals) and Carmen Rosas (4) led the offensive effort for Conant (4-6, 1-3), and Maddie Demaret made 19 saves in goal.
