No. 2 seed Breckenridge advanced to the semifinals of the Section 6A girls basketball playoffs with a 59-58 win over No. 3 seed West Central Area on Saturday in Minnewaska.

Sophomore point guard Emily Gowin drained a baseline floater with three seconds remaining to give Breckenridge the lead. Gowin also blocked the potential game-winning three as the Cowgirls staved off the Knights.

Parker Yaggie led Breckenridge with 19 points and eight rebounds — scoring 17 points in the second half. Gowin tallied 17 points, seven rebounds and three assists. Piper Jaehning was a key factor on the glass with 11 points and nine rebounds.
