The victory keeps the Wolves in second place in the Olympic League standings, two games ahead of Olympic, Port Angeles and Kingston.

Alex Barry scored 18 points for the Wolves, including 4 in the extra session, hitting a pair of freebies with 12.8 seconds remaining that put Sequim ahead 57-53.

The Trojans' Makaleb McInnis missed a triple, but canned a 14-footer off his own rebound and was fouled by the Wolves' Vance Willis with 1.4 seconds left in OT, cutting the Sequim lead to 57-55.

McInnis' intentional free throw miss caromed off the rim into the left corner, where Shane Matheny's desperation heave sailed clean of the iron as the klaxon sounded.

Sequim was playing Friday without its second leading scorer, Rory Kallappa, who injured his back Wednesday night at Port Townsend.

Things looked grim for Sequim after Christensen fouled out with 5:17 left in the fourth quarter and Shane Matheny downed a pair of free throws, putting the hosts up 47-37.

However, the Wolves played rock solid defense the rest of the way, giving up just four more points in regulation.

Anthony Pinza scored 9 of his 13 points in the fourth, including a pair of charity tosses with 4:12 left that cut the deficit to 47-41.

Junior Alex Rutherford dropped a jumper with 2:55 remaining as the Wolves closed to within 47-43.

In the heart-stopping final minute of regulation, Alex Barry canned a shot with 55 seconds left that narrowed it to 51-49.

Pinza put the finishing touches on the comeback with a drive to the hoop, tying the contest at 51 with 6 seconds remaining.

A final Trojans shot went awry and the game went to the first extra session of the season for both squads.

Barry missed the front end of a one-and-one free throw opportunity with 3:33 left, but the 6-8 McConnaughey tipped the ball in for the Wolves on the rebound and Sequim was ahead 55-53.

McConnaughey had a career-high 10 points.

Barry knocked in a basket with 2:53 left, putting Sequim up 55-51.
