Ventura, Calif. - Cypress fought a tough battle in Ventura's gym and came up victorious on a last second shot to win 67-65 for their 10th straight win. The Chargers were behind most of the game and brought it back to a tie at 33 at halftime. The second half was a back and forth battle before freshman forward Sheila Ho-Ching received a long pass from Ana Fakatou to score the winning bucket with 6.8 seconds left on the clock. Ho-Ching ended the night as the leading scorer with 20 points.
This is the third year in a row that Cypress has won in Ventura's gym, a perennially difficult gym to win in. Ventura came into the game ranked 13th in the South while Cypress is ranked 7th. Sophomore forward Ana Fakatou grabbed 14 rebounds on the night to add to her 9 points. Freshman forward Brandi Thomas added 12 points while freshman guard Anureet Dhaliwal chipped in 8. Freshmen guards Corianne Felix and Brae Butler combined for 11 points, 7 assists, and 8 steals.
The Lady Chargers will have no rest as they take on Oxnard at Oxnard Friday night at 7:00 pm. This is the Charger's second meeting with Oxnard this year. They played back on November 11th with Cypress winning 81-52.
