MINSTER — The Minster Lady Wildcats got past the last distraction before their big game tonight for the Midwest Athletic Conference title, edging Wapakoneta in non-league basketball action at Minster Tuesday, 39-36 in overtime.

The win put the Lady Wildcats at 19-2 on the year and they will put their 8-0 MAC record on the line tonight at home against Fort Recovery. Minster has already clinched a share of the title, but a loss would mean Versailles would tie for the title.
