The two squads were tied 36-36 at the end of four quarters, but the Pirates went on 10-0 run in the extra period to gain their first win of the season.
Riverside now holds a 1-2 record as the Lakers slip to 2-2.
“I like the way our team played defensively,” said IL head coach Nick Tucci. “Any time you hold a team to 36 points in regulation you are going to give yourself a chance to win.
“The girls made and executed the necessary adjustments to give themselves a chance, but the shots just did not fall. Riverside did a great job limiting our looks and rebounded well. We will learn, regroup and be ready to play at Greenon Wednesday night in our first league game.”
