If Trimble Tech wanted to avenge their loss from the last time they played Polytechnic, they should've done a better job of containing Cecilia Aguilar. The Parrots took down the Bulldogs 36-19 on Thursday with plenty of help from Aguilar, who posted 15 points and five assists. She has become a key player for Polytechnic: the team is undefeated when she posts at least 15 points, but 2-10 otherwise.

Kassidy Young was another key player, putting up 13 points in addition to six boards and three steals. She is on a roll when it comes to steals, as she's now grabbed two or more in each of the last three games she's played.

With the win, Polytechnic broke their three-game losing streak and moved their record to 5-10. As for Trimble Tech, they have been struggling recently as they've lost nine of their last ten games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 3-13 record this season.

Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming contests.
