Panthers defeat Lobos 60-59 in conference showdown

On January 25, 2018, conference rivals Hartnell and MPC, took the court with storm. With Hartnell’s recent success last week, with a 50-47 win against another conference team, De Anza, on the road. Meanwhile MPC was full of three-point shooters and sitting with a 10-10 (.500) overall record, the game looked like an even match. During the first half, the Lady Panthers led the game, staying head of the Lobos with a five-point lead, 28-23. Even though Hartnell stayed ahead it was a whole team effort as three players finished with double-digits, Alexus Andrade added 14 points while Cristeta Almorade finished with 13 points. Not to mention Valeria Quinones Liddy tallied 10 points and 11 rebounds while Davaughna Thompson added nine points. At the second half the Lobos begin to make the game interesting, as their sharpshooters continued to attack. Although the Lobos had a late heroic comeback, Hartnell prevailed with a 60-59 win! Hartnell now sits at 4-13 (.235) overall and 2-4 (.333) in conference play. Now winning two out of three conference games with 6 games remaining in the season, Playoffs are not entirely out of the picture yet. Don't forget about Hartnell’s Women’s Basketball Annual Alumni game January 31, 2018 at 7 pm. See you all there, go Panthers!
