They came out on top against Miyamura by a score of 72-64. Having run the score up that high, both teams might be doing some extra defensive drills very soon.

That's the first time this season that Garcia scored 15 or more points. The team also got some help courtesy of Shamus Hogue, who scored 16 points along with two steals.
