“It was a close game all the way to the fourth quarter,” noted Christian coach TIFFANY GILES. “At halftime, it was a 3-point game. They boxed and one MARISSA (GILES) in the second half and that hurt us.”
ATHENA SOTELO led all scorers with 25 points, eight rebounds, 8 assists and 4 steals, while TYANA WARSAW had a double-double of 17 points and 12 rebounds to go with 2 blocks for the Foothillers.
JASMYN CRAWFORD scored 13 points and Marissa Giles had 12 for the Patriots.

West Hills improved to 4-0 with the victory.
KERRIE DANIELS punched in 13 points for the Pack.
“We started off really well, made shots and played great defense, and were up 17 at the half,” said West Hills coach RYAN KINSER.
“We came out in the 3rd and just got out played, gave up 23 points,” Kinser continued. “Had too many turnovers and didn’t do a good job protecting the 3-point line (9 made 3’s).”
“We played good defense in the 4th and was able to pull out a close one,” Kinser said. “(We) have to do a better job playing defense for all 4 quarters.
