Junior Amy Heath added 21 points for the Vikings (5-5), who avenged last Tuesday's overtime loss to the Indians (3-7) in Blacksburg.
Northside held a two-point lead after the third quarter, but Blacksburg's April Rogers scored 11 of her 18 points in the fourth period to help force overtime.
Rogers' 3-pointer gave the Indians a three-point lead with less than a minute remaining in regulation. Northside pulled even with four seconds remaining on Heath's inside basket.
