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.
