Strathmore girls roll past Sierra Pacific

STRATHMORE GIRLS 57, SIERRA PACIFIC 31

Strathmore improved to 1-1 in the East Sequoia League by rolling past Sierra Pacific on Thursday. Gabby Baca had 10 points, four assists, four rebounds and five steals before having to come out of the game with about two minutes left in the third quarter after she took a hard fall when she was fouled.

Shelby Vanasen almost posted a double double in points and steals for SHS with 14 points and nine steals. Abby Valle did post her third straight double double and fifth of the season with 13 points, 10 rebounds and three steals and Jeidi Gutierrez added 12 points for the Spartans.

Vianey Gonzalez also held Sierra Pacific’s leading scorer to half of her average as she came into the game averaging 16 points, but scored only eight. Gonzalez actually effectively held Sierra Pacific’s top scorer without a basket as her eight points came on two free throws and three uncontested layups.

“The girls responded well,” Strathmore coach Richard Miranda said. “A lot of good things, still some things we’ve got to work on.”
