Even though Salem Hills had a comfortable lead, Gustin charged down the court like a freight train. She split two defenders and dropped it in at the buzzer for two.

She pumped her fist as her teammates dogpiled onto her. Even though Salem Hills was a quarter away from the 57-35 win over Hurricane for the Class 4A state championship, the senior knew they had it.
Gustin was a force of nature in all stages of the game.
