When Olivia Muenter missed a layup with 12 seconds left she thought she had just blown the game for her Cambridge teammates.
Then she got another chance. And this time she didn't miss.
Muenter's layup with five seconds to go Tuesday broke a 34-all tie and moved Cambridge one step closer to a final four berth with a 36-34 win over Seffner Christian.
"I didn't know how much time was left," Muenter said. "But when I missed it the first time I said to myself, I have to get it back and then after I made the second one I knew I probably just won the game."
Arielle Jadlowski's halfcourt attempt at the buzzer hit the top of the backboard.
The Lancers (14-10) jumped out to a 16-5 lead after one quarter, but the Crusaders (16-11) had a four-point lead at halftime.
Neither team led by more than four the rest of the way.
After Jadlowski gave Seffner a 34-32 lead with two minutes remaining, Chachere Moore tied it on a midrange jumper with 35 seconds left, setting the stage for Muenter's heroics.
Jadlowski led all scorers with 18. Moore led Cambridge with nine, while Muenter and Rachael Bode each finished with eight.
Cambridge 36
Seffner Christian 34
