Team Cardinal trounces the Tritons

Everyone (except Mikaela with her sore plantar fascia) played, everyone contributed as the Cardinal defeated the Tritons 105-56.

The biggest stats were registered by a member of each class:

• Senior Nneka scored 17 points and also had five rebounds, two steals and a block.
• Junior Joslyn had a double-double of 16 points and 11 rebounds. She's credited with just one block, but I saw her make at least three.
• Sophomore Chiney headed the stats with 19 points and 14 rebounds and also had a steal and two blocks.
• Freshman Bonnie (aka, Quick-hand) scored 15 points on five of seven 3-pointers in ten minutes of play.

It was a fast-paced game, especially by Amber, Jasmine and Alex, as had been predicted. The Cardinal's good defense (and a four-inch or so height advantage) held the Tritons to 31% FG and 27% 3PT.

The freshmen not only played well individually, but meshed as members of the team — they've made great progress in learning the plays. Amber's point guard performance was especially impressive. She had seven assists with just two turnovers in her 18 minutes of play.
