Kumasi Girls could have won the game at the end of regulation but Point Guard Rose Yeboah missed a free throw to complete a three-point play after getting fouled on a drive.
Accra Wesley took an 8-1 lead in the opening minutes of the first half but got pegged with a flurry from Kumasi Girls to lead 13-8.
However, Accra Wesley recovered well to end the first half on top courtesy a 15-13 lead with back to back made free throws.
In the end, the teams couldn't be separated and overtime had to be played with Center Abigail Agyapomaa converting a free throw with the game tied at 29 and a few seconds remaining on the clock.
This the first title for Kumasi Girls and cures the pain of losing last year’s final to Wesley Girls High School.
