Natalie Lenzen drove the lane and made a short-range jumper with 8 seconds remaining to lift Chaska to the two-point win over Osseo in the first girls tournament game.
Chaska (3-6) had a six-point lead with 2:45 remaining but Osseo forced a series of turnovers with its tenacious full-court press, and the Orioles tied the score at 56-56 with 34 seconds let on a three-pointer from the right side by Courtney Calkins.
Lenzen, a 6-foot senior center, finished with 14 points and was one of three Chaska players in double figures scoring. Osseo (5-3) was led by junior guard Kiara Russell with 21 points.
