Girls' basketball: Harvard-Westlake drops a 66-45 decision to Canyon in Div. II-A championship

Harvard-Westlake's run through the Div. II-A bracket came to a screeching halt Thursday at Anaheim Conevention Center in a humbling 66-45 setback against Canyon of Anaheim in the championship game.

The Wolverines lost one of their best players, Leslie Schuman, to a severe mouth injury early in the game and couldn't get over the hump.

Canyon shot the lights out in the fourth quarter and the lead swelled to 20.

Harvard-Westlake was gunning for its third consecutive championship in a different division.

The Wolverines caught a rare break this year when it was moved up from Div. IV-AA and things got easier in a mediocre division but couldn't solve Canyon.
