The Arroyo Grande Eagles will face off against the Ventura Cougars at 5:30 p.m. on Monday. Hopefully Arroyo Grande focused on turnovers this week as the team gave up ten on Tuesday.
Arroyo Grande took care of business in their home opener (and then some). They claimed a resounding 57-18 win over Cabrillo. The Eagles pushed the score to 51-15 by the end of the third, a deficit the Conquistadores had no chance of recovering from.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Arroyo Grande to victory, but perhaps none more so than Diana Sorrondo, who went 6 for 9 en route to 14 points plus five rebounds and two steals. The team also got some help courtesy of Cate Pedrotti, who went 5 for 7 en route to 12 points plus two steals.
Arroyo Grande smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with ten offensive rebounds. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Cabrillo only pulled down two.
Meanwhile, Ventura was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap on Tuesday as they fell 53-48 to Westlake.
Despite their loss, Ventura saw several players rise to the challenge and make noteworthy plays. Kailee Staniland, who posted 18 points in addition to five assists, was perhaps the best of all. That was a full 37.5% of Ventura's points, marking the third time in a row she's had more than a third of the team's points. Jasmine Messina was another key player, scoring nine points plus seven rebounds.
Arroyo Grande came up short against Ventura in their previous meeting back in December of 2023, falling 56-49. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of Staniland, who went 7 for 14 en route to 25 points plus four steals. Now that Arroyo Grande knows the damage she can cause, will they be able to stop her this time? There's only one way to find out.
