No, it's not a misprint.

Pacific Lutheran blanked Summit Valley View, 40-0, in a Mulholland League girls basketball game at Northridge Park.

Coach Phil Avalos explained that it was indeed not a forfeit and sounded almost apologetic.

"We played the whole game. They just couldn't make a basket," Avalos said. "We did everything we could to let them shoot. We pulled back, we passed the ball around a lot.

"We only have seven girls; it wasn't like I tried to keep the starters in."

It was the second time that Summit Valley View, a team that had 12 girls on the roster, had been shut out this season.

Tayler Pattillo had 15 points and 13 steals to lead Pacific Lutheran (6-6, 4-2). Tiana Wightman added 10 points and 16 rebounds for Pacific Lutheran.

Summit Valley View fell to 0-5 in league.
