CdM wins third straight

The Corona del Mar High girls basketball team did not play

particularly well but still managed to pull of a 47-42 victory over

visiting Pacific Coast League rival Northwood Tuesday night. It was

the third win in four games for the Sea Kings (10-10, 2-2 in league).

Katie Schulte had a game-high 15 and Allie Duernberger added 14

for CdM.

The game was marred by turnovers and fouls, Coach Scott Kahawai

said. He was pleased the team was able to persevere and pull out a

win. He was also praised the way sophomore guard Shannon Johnson has

elevated her game. She finished with eight points against Northwood.

CdM plays host to league-leading Laguna Beach Thursday at 7 p.m.
