What has to be one of lowest scoring games in Jamestown Community College's women basketball history took place on Saturday afternoon.
JCC outlasted Westmoreland County CC, 37-36, in the Tom D'Angelo Memorial Classic to improve to 7-3 .
A last-second shot by Westmoreland County was off target as JCC held on for the very physical win.

''I will take a win any way we can get one,'' said JCC coach George Sisson. ''I am proud of my girls as they took the challenge and grinded out a tough win.''
Kelsie Beaver was named the most valuable player with 24 points in two games while teammate Taylor Storer added 20 in two games to make the all-tournament team.
Beaver scored seven points and Storer four points against Westmoreland County, which saw its record fall to 6-2.
Ashley DePane, JCC's leading scorer, hurt her shoulder in the first half and was limited to nine points.
''Kristin Biela came through with a charge in the last few seconds that was a key for us,'' said Sisson.
After the charge and a missed free throw, Westmoreland County got the ball back with .9 seconds left and missed.
Westmoreland County, which finished 1-1 in the two-day event, was led by Hannah Falcsik with 12 points.
In the other game, Niagara County CC defeated Davis College.
JCC is off to Canada Tuesday night for a battle with Niagara College and is hoping to avenge a 61-60 decision on Nov. 4 when the game was decided by a foul shot with no time remaining.
