The Cook Inlet Academy-Nikolaevsk girls basketball rivalry is alive and well.

The two squads have represented the Peninsula Conference at the state tournament for the past three years, and in 2013 CIA took the Class 1A title with a 43-39 victory in triple overtime.

Friday, the host Warriors went to double overtime before claiming a 38-37 victory.

Nikolaevsk was down by 12 points with seven minutes left in the game. Kilina Klaich hit a 3-pointer with 16 seconds left to cut the lead to one, then left the game with a sprained ankle. CIA’s Madison Orth then made the lead two with a free throw.

However, Nadejda Gordeev knocked down a short jumper with seven seconds left to tie the game.
