In the second quarter Lopez and freshman Marissa Garcia added three-pointers to make the score 21-20 by halftime. 

 

Early in the second half Youngker took the lead, but Sarah Obermeyer and Lopez made back-to-back baskets to cut the lead to two. In the final minute of the third quarter, freshman Thamara Victorino made a three-pointer making the score 35-27. 

 

During the final quarter, Morson brought the Jaguars close and Lopez made a shot pulling Canyon View within five, but Youngker pulled through with a 45-40 win. 

 

“It was a really good game, unfortunately we lost, but we still fought hard,” said sophomore Chyanne Lopez.
