Girls Basketball:
La Salle welcomed Orange Lutheran into their gym on Tuesday evening.
In a battle of Lancers’ programs, O-Lu took an early 16-6 lead after eight minutes of play.
La Salle would outscore Orange Lutheran, 34-33, the rest of the way.
But the girls from Orange County headed home with a 49-40 victory, and they remained unbeaten.
Kayla Watanabe led O-Lu with 15 points and Olivia Taleon chipped in with 13.
Watanabe’s four 3-pointers matched La Salle’s team total.
It’s games like this that Scott Wiard needs and wants to get his Lady Lancers ready for league, and more importantly, the CIF-SS playoffs.
Aislin Tamez Torres had a game-high 19 points for La Salle, including half of their four 3-pointers.
Casey Higgins finished with nine points in the loss.
Up next: The Lancers host La Canada on Monday at 6:30.
