On February 6th, the lady Barons proved that the Vikings weren’t going to pillage their gym, winning their last game of the season with a score of 61-44 over Marina. The win gave Fountain Valley a 3-7 Sunset League record.
It was also Senior Night for the lady Barons; senior team members Marisa Teng, Kelcie Mayott, Jasmine Matar, Danielle Tran, Natalie Bramlett, and Jocelyn Cavillo were celebrated.
The first quarter was a back-and-forth struggle; the Barons responding to Marina’s layup with a three-pointer at 6:50 by Jasmine Matar. Pick and rolls and hard drives toward the basket also allowed the lady Barons to widen the lead. The first quarter ended with 18-13, Barons up.
The rest of the game followed suit; Kelcie Mayott was down under the basket grabbing rebounds and laying up points during the second half. An energetic Danielle Kennedy was hitting jumpers during the second half as well, making one at 6:45 during the fourth quarter, extending Fountain Valley’s lead to 45-32.
Ball handling improved as the second quarter went on. A combination of steals, three-point range shooting, and free throws throughout the rest of the game secured the girls’ solid win.
