After leveling the score as the fourth quarter ticked down, NISH held on to the tie to force the game into overtime.
The Yellow Jackets controlled the tempo, burning through half of the period with excellent ball movement.
With control of the ball, and the game, NISH converted several crucial free throws to pull away from Walker and seal a 47-43 victory on Thursday evening.
