CdM puts University away with 42-38 win

Corona del Mar High’s girls basketball team used a 14-2

second-quarter run to spark a 42-38 Pacific Coast League victory over

visiting University Thursday night.

Kelliann Klein led the way with 12 points as CdM improved to

11-11, 6-2 in the PCL, and she was joined by Kathryn Heeschen, Lauren

Snell and Aryn Dimas in the second quarter which proved decisive.

Dimas scored two points and the rest each scored four points as an

effective press triggered the burst.

The victory sets up a championship showdown on Tuesday when

league-leading Calvary Chapel invades.

University fell to 3-5 in league.

* Newport Harbor, meanwhile, in Sea View League play at Laguna

Hills, the Sailors were unable to adjust to Laguna Hill’s defensive

switches in the second half, and they had no answer for Christen

D’Alesandro, who buried six three-point shots to lead all scorers

with 18 points.

Newport was in the hunt at halftime, trailing 27-24, but Laguna

Hills rolled in the second half.

Jillianne Whitfield led the Sailors with 13 points.

Newport Harbor falls to 13-13, 3-6 in the Sea View. Laguna Hills

improves to 17-8, 6-3.
