Perhaps La Salle coach Scott Wiard said it best in his email while sending in Tuesday night’s game stats.

And his Lancers left Long Beach with a hard-fought 63-62 victory over St. Anthony in overtime.

The Lancers are now 3-1 in league play.

Audrey Chen had a game-high 27 points, including a pair of 3-pointers.

The Chen sisters combined to make four of La Salle’s six 3-pointers.

Ryann Bennett led St. Anthony with 21 points.

Anaya Tunu had 16, and Melaiah Joseph finished with 10.

Up next: The Lancers host Bishop Montgomery on Thursday at 7.
