SBVC women surge past Chaffey
SAN BERNARDINO - The San Bernardino Valley College women's
basketball team started a gauntlet of four straight games against
state-ranked Foothill Conference foes, the first being local rival
Chaffey.
The Wolverines got that off to a good start, turning back the
No. 12 Panthers 83-71 Wednesday at Snyder Gymnasium to remain tied
for first in the conference with Antelope Valley, their opponent on
Saturday.
``You have to get the ones at home so this was important,'' SBVC
coach Sue Crebbin said. ``We tend to play well here so it was all
about defending home court because this conference is so tough.''
SBVC (13-8, 4-0) led most of the game with Chaffey's only leads
being 2-0 and 12-9.
The Wolverines led 38-31 at the half and upped that advantage to
12 points twice in the second half. Each time the Panthers made a
run, the Wolverines answered. The visitors used an 8-0 run to get in
striking distance at 45-41 with13:16 to go.
But Kimberly Kipp hit a 3-pointer from the corner to stop the run.
SBVC ended up getting the lead back to 11 at 54-43.
The Panthers (16-6, 3-2) inched closer again with a pair of free
throws by Aundria Anderson cutting the deficit to 55-50 with 8:31 to
play. Again the host team answered. This time it was Ashleigh Frazier
with her fourth 3-pointer of the game.
Then when Chaffey got it back to five again at 58-53, SBVC
answered with a bucket inside by Kipp, then a 3-pointer by Keyanna
Stewart, making it 63-53. The closest Chaffey ever got after that was
eight points.
``They made a few runs on us and we did a good job of not getting
too rattled,'' Crebbin said. ``That's one thing about this team. They
tend to just keep playing.''
The second half was a sloppy one. SBVC had 14 turnovers, after
only committing three in the first half. The Wolverines hit only 15
of 28 free throws in the half after making 13 of 15 in the first half
although they did hit seven of eight in the last minute. Three SBVC
starters fouled out.
Frazier tallied a game-high 21 to lead all scores. She also
collected six rebounds and four assists. Point guard Eisha Sheppard
added 20 with Kipp contributing 14 and six rebounds as SBVC shot 45.1
percent (23-for-51).
Chaffey, which shot 41.5 percent (22-of-53) for the game, was
led by Anderson with 17 points and nine rebounds.
