(San Gabriel) \u2013 The Keppel Lady Aztecs overcame early foul trouble to unleash a smothering, suffocating brand of full and half court pressure defense that sparked a 49-16 trouncing of San Gabriel Tuesday night.<\/p>\n
The Lady Mats managed just one field goal in the first quarter, \u2013 a trey by Ariella Taghdis \u2013 and just five points in the second as Keppel raced out to a 37-7 lead at halftime.<\/p>\n
Keppel, winning their 17th in a row, improved to 19-1 overall and completed a clean first round of league sweep in the Almont. Keppel entered at 4-0 while SG came into this 3-1 off stunning Alhambra 46-41 and recording close low-scoring wins over Bell Gardens and Montebello in games prior.<\/p>\n
The Lady Aztec bench cleared as a result of the lopsided halftime score. Starters Alyson Lock and Sandra Gao both finished with 13 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 steals apiece. Bryttne Nakamura was all treys for her 9 while off the bench, Karina Kho and Jodi Aiau added to the fun as they each supplied a trey and two assists. Emily Thach scored another 5 plus three steals to round out the leaders.<\/p>\n
SG was headed by 4 points and 8 caroms from Amaris Taghdis.<\/p>\n
