#2 LOS LUNAS HOLDS OFF #10 HOPE CHRISTIAN
FINAL SCORE
Los Lunas 57
Hope Christian 44
They've met previously at the Hope Christian tournament final and much like that game, Hope had their opportunities but came up short. Sophomore Hayley Valencia had a terrible shooting night throught the game missing key baskets at or around the rim. Meanwhile, Los Lunas took some time to get going, but eventually found their groove against the stout Hope defense. Long balls and forcing turnovers helped Los Lunas extend their lead late and maintain that level of pressure through the rest of the game. Although Hope was within striking distance several times in the early second half, they couldn't find the offense or make count the opportunities.
Los Lunas moves on to the semifinals Thursday at 11:30 AM against the winner of #3 Gallup and #11 Goddard.
