Kristene Hossespian's 10 points in the first half helped La Canada.<\/p><\/div>\n

(Temple City) \u2013 The last two seasons, La Canada has been unstoppable in the Rio Hondo League winning 18 of 20 games. The Spartans were bringing a 13-game winning streak against league opponents as well.<\/p>\n

After a slow start in 2010-11 going 4-11 prior to La Canada\u2019s game against Temple City. The start of the Rio Hondo League was exactly what the Doctor ordered for the Spartans with a 44-36 win over the Rams.<\/p>\n

Kristene Hossepian led La Canada with a game-high 16 points with 10 coming in the first half. Junior Sydney Zarate continued to assert herself as a hard-nosed scorer with 12 points.<\/p>\n

The Achilles Heel for the Spartans all season has been its inconsistent free-throw percentage. Tonight, La Canada managed to hit 15 of 20 from the charity stripe to help hold off a late charge from Temple City.<\/p>\n

Hossepian and Zarate accounted for seven of eight down the stretch to help stop any Ram comeback from materializing.<\/p>\n

Temple City came out fast in the first quarter hitting its first two shots from the field to take a quick 4-1 lead over the Spartans. The Rams would hit a shooting slump midway through the first quarter and watched a three-point lead turn into a five point deficit at the end of the quarter.<\/p>\n

After both teams traded free-throws early in the second, La Canada continued its run to go up by 11 points with five minutes remaining.<\/p>\n

Kristina Wu started to Temple City on the right track late in the first half scoring five points in the final two minutes to cut the lead to seven.<\/p>\n

The Rams came out on fire in the third quarter with Lina Kimoto hitting a three-pointer to make the score 24-20 Spartans.<\/p>\n

After Yessica Frias made a free-throw, freshman Sarah Borland drained a three-pointer for La Canada to stop the 4-0 run to extend the lead back to six.<\/p>\n

Anna Valazza kept Temple City in the game with a three-point play after a foul to cut the lead back to three with less than three minutes to play.<\/p>\n

Valazza kept the Rams in the game late.<\/p><\/div>\n

Lauren Barsamian and Hossepian hit two-big shots late in the third quarter to extend the lead back to six.<\/p>\n

Borland made a huge shot to start the fourth to make the score 33-25, only to have Valazza make three from the top of the arc to answer the Spartans score.<\/p>\n

Down the stretch though it was La Canada\u2019s ability to get to the line and make free-throws to begin the Rio Hondo League season on a winning note.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/col>\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
