The Westcliff Warriors (7-7, 4-0) traveled to Riverside to play La Sierra University (8-10, 1-3).

 

The Warriors achieved an early lead after the first quarter 21-15. 

 

In the following quarter, La Sierra came together as they scored 22 points equal to Westcliff and continued this momentum as they finished the third quarter with 13 points against Westcliff's 11. 

 

However, the 18-6 in the 4th quarter set the tone for the finish of the game in Westcliff's victory. 

 

 

Trinity Vasquez - 25 Points 6 Rebounds

Bailey Hawkins - 18 Points 7 Rebounds 4-4 FT

Laura Tapia - 16 Points 6 Rebounds 4-7 3pt

 

"Both teams came in at the half shooting almost 60%, our defense was solid, La Sierra just did a nice job making shots. 

 

Second half we changed our defense slightly and it helped. Asia Anderson came in and played some very solid minutes on the defensive end and limited their paint touches and their paint points.

We did a good job being patient on our shot selection which led to our 51% team fg for the game.

Overall we do need to do a better job adjusting quicker, I think it took us too long to notice some things but we'll definitely learn from it. La Sierra did a good job forcing us to our 2nd and 3rd options in our offense."

 

What's Next? Next game is at home vs Antelope Valley on Saturday the 29th. 5:30pm
