La Salle claimed the San Marino Tournament with Saturday’s 55-30 victory over St. Paul.

The Lancers went on a 17-4 run in the second quarter, and they enjoyed a 32-15 lead at the half.

Kaden Cortes was on fire.

Cortes scored 21 of her game-high 23 points from beyond the 3-point line.

Casey Higgins chipped in with 10 points and Audrey Chen scored nine points.

Loretta Aguirre-Colmenero led St. Paul with 15 points.

Audrey Chen was named the tournament’s MVP, and Higgins and Cortes both earned all-tournament honors.

Quotable:

La Salle coach, Scott Wiard: “I’m proud of our kids’ defensive effort all week. We are only going to be successful if we guard teams and we made progress on that end of the ball this week. Julianne Tan was particularly excellent the last two nights on defense.”
