MIAMI, Oklahoma --The Northern Oklahoma College Lady Mavs season ended Monday night in the Region 2 Playoffs losing to NEO 68-64 in Miami.

NOC (3-26) saw their season end while NEO (14-13) advanced in the Region 2 Tournament at Shawnee on Wednesday.

The Lady Mavs were led by freshman Radina Zhivachka with 15 points while freshman Caitlyn Bailed and sophomore Chideyah Guyton added 10 points each.  Cassie Manning led the Lady Mavs with 14 rebounds.

The Lady Mavs trailed the Lady Norse 41-34 at half before outscoring NEO 23-9 in the third quarter to take a 56-50 lead heading into the final eight minutes.

NOC and the Lady Norse were tied with 1:21 but NEO made plays down the stretch to squeeze out the 68-64 win.

"We were in a position to win in the last two minutes but didn't execute some things under our control," said coach Greg Krause.  "I thought Radina (Zhivachka) and Cassie (Manning) played well and Caitlyn (Bailey) did a good job taking care of the ball at point guard."

The Lady Mavs shot 29 percent from the floor and 25 percent from 3-point range.  The Lady Mavs defense held NEO to 32 percent shooting from the floor and 22 percent from 3-point range.
