WILBURTON, Oklahoma --  Natalie Walker scored three points against Eastern Thursday night.  

But it was the most important as Walker's 3-pointer beat the buzzer lifting NOC to a 64-63 win over Eastern.

The Lady Mavs trailed the Lady Mountaineers 38-25 at half and 50-40 after three quarters but NOC lit the scoreboard for 24 fourth quarter points to rally for the win.

"It took a while, but we adjusted defensively from the second quarter on and stayed in front of the ball better," said coach Greg Krause.  "We hit some big shots in the 4th quarter, but Natalie's 3-pointer at the buzzer was the game winner."

Marta Perez led the Lady Mavs with 16 while Kaydrin Scott added 14 and Brooke Robertson 10.  Landri Hussey led the club with eight rebounds and five assists.

The Mavs (9-12) are now 5-4 in conference while Eastern (11-10) fell to 3-6.
