Lawrence knocked off Central Catholic 50-45 to earn two huge milestones.
It clinched a state tourney berth for the surprising Lancers (10-4) and 11th-year head coach Dan Blouin said it was the first time LHS has beaten the Raiders in the 19 years Central has had girls varsity basketball.
"I'm pretty positive we've never beaten them," said Blouin. "To qualify for states is huge."
Aria Tate (24 points, 4 3 pointers) and the Lancers jumped to a big early lead as Central, which dropped to 2-12 in a rare difficult season, trailed 25-7 at the half.
The Raiders, who have two state titles on their gaudy resume (2013, 2009),  clawed back but couldn't overtake the Lancers.
Blouin said of the sharp-shooting junior Tate, "When she's on, she's on."
Returning Eagle-Tribune All-Star Genesis Santana dished out 12 assists and Kinadra Vasquez netted nine points in the win.
