Benilde-St. Margaret’s is growing accustomed to winning overtime thrillers.

Sophomore Maggie Graczyk scored in overtime, giving the Red Knights an 8-7 victory over Two Rivers/Gentry Academy in the girls’ lacrosse state tournament quarterfinals Tuesday at Roseville High School.

Graczyk also scored the goal that forced overtime. Classmate Julia Evens assisted on both goals.

Graczyk and senior Tilly Wolfe each had a hat trick. Evens scored the other goals.
