CdM girls win, 53-42

FULLERTON - Corona del Mar High’s girls basketball team logged its

second straight victory Monday night, taking Santa Ana Valley apart in

the fourth quarter to post a 53-42 decision in the first round of the

Troy Tournament.

The victory sends Coach Elbert Davis’ quintet (2-0) into a 6:30 duel

with La Habra tonight at the same site, Troy High.

Kelly Luu came off the bench to light a fire, and combined with the

defensive play of Andrea Gruber, Corona del Mar ran off a 23-6 run in the

fourth quarter to overcome a 36-30 deficit through three quarters.

“We just turned up the (defensive) intensity,” said Davis. “We knew

were going to wear them out.”

Kristin McCoy led the way in the scoring column with 15 points, and

she had 12 rebounds. Her sister, Jackie, was also in double figures,

scoring 11 points.
