Cupertino, Calif. - Cypress hopes this is the beginning of another win streak as they defeated Consumnes River 74-55. Cypress came out firing in the first half shooting 53% from the field and ending the half with a 21 point victory. Consumnes River closed the lead down to as close as 10 before Cypress charged back to win the game by 19.
