(Glendora, Ca) \u2013 Glendora\u2019s Katie Gannon buried a 15-footer from the top of the key to halt Covina\u2019s comeback with two minutes remaining in the game.<\/p>\n
The Tartans held off the Colts the final minutes to improve to 12-3 on the season with a 48-43 victory.\u00a0 The Colts dropped to 9-7 in non-league play.<\/p>\n
Glendora managed to use their size advantage to frustrate Covina\u2019s penetrating offense in the first half to go on an 11-1 run to start the second quarter.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe aren\u2019t a pure shooting team,\u201d said Covina head coach Matt Kearns.\u00a0 \u201cWe rely on penetration and getting to the basket.\u00a0 Glendora is so big inside and much disciplined with their man-to-man defense.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tartan center Sarah Letourneau led the team with 18 points with six coming in the final quarter.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Chelsea Chemla would lead the Colts with 17 points.<\/p>\n
The second quarter was the difference in the game as Covina didn\u2019t score a field goal until Marissa Clark put back a rebound with 1:27 to play in the half and stop a 9-0 run.<\/p>\n
The Colts would finish with a flurry as Raven Dixon and Vanessa Zapata both scored to cut the lead to five with less than 23 seconds to play.<\/p>\n
Letourneau\u2019s easy bucket before the half would extend the lead to seven.<\/p>\n
Covina was finally able to solve the height advantage that the Tartans had when Chmela buried consecutive three-pointers to cut the Glendora lead to one midway through the third quarter.<\/p>\n
However, every time the Colts got within a possession of taking the lead, the Tartans defense stepped up to make the big play during the second half.<\/p>\n
Covina would get to within one in the fourth quarter, but missed opportunities with easy looks and turnovers cost the Colts a chance to either take the lead to draw even.<\/p>\n
After Covina\u2019s Jackie Ford scored with 37.7 seconds remaining in the game, Glendora\u2019s Lindsy Vega made two crucial free-throws to close the scoring out.<\/p>\n
