(El Monte, Ca) \u2013 La Canada was unable to contain Kody Burke in the paint and dropped the Lady Knights Tournament third- place game 48-38 to Notre Dame Sherman Oaks.<\/p>\n
The North Carolina State bound Burke was virtually unstoppable as she poured in a game high 30 points and had seven block shots in the win.<\/p>\n
The Lady Spartans were unable to get on track in the first half as they shot four for 25 as a team and were unable to establish any inside presence with Burke defending.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe just couldn\u2019t get shots to fall in the first half,\u201d said La Canada head coach Tamar Hill.\u00a0 \u201cIt also didn\u2019t help that we didn\u2019t execute during the game.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Knights were able to blow the game open in the second quarter as they went on a 10-0 run that saw contributions from Sydney Hubbard and Katherine Ortiz.<\/p>\n
La Canada would close out the half to get within 19 points when Grace O\u2019Hara made the first field goal of the second quarter and Shannon Denney made a five-foot jumper.<\/p>\n
The Lady Spartans were finally able to make a game of it in the fourth quarter as they held Notre Dame without a field goal for 6:30.<\/p>\n
With less than 55 seconds, La Canada\u2019s Courtney McCutchan made a three-pointer to cut the Knights lead to eight.\u00a0 It was McCutchan\u2019s only field goal of the evening.<\/p>\n
It would be the closest the Lady Spartans would get as Burke closed the victory out with two free throws.<\/p>\n
Tia Chen was the leading scorer for La Canada with 17 points.<\/p>\n
