You can't lose the game if you win every quarter, and that was precisely Villa Park's strategy against Cypress on Friday. Given that consistent dominance, it should come as no surprise that the Villa Park Spartans blew the Cypress Centurions out of the water with a 64-23 final score. The Spartans have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won eight contests by 21 points or more this season.
Villa Park got their victory on the backs of several key players, but it was Olivia Sturdivant out in front who went 6 of 10 en route to 15 points in addition to five assists and five rebounds. That's the most assists Sturdivant has posted since back in December of 2024. Another player making a difference was Madelyn Martinez, who went 5 for 9 on her way to 15 points.
Sturdivant wasn't the only one working in the assists department: Villa Park was working as a unit and finished the game with 17 assists. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Cypress only racked up five assists.
Cypress' defeat shouldn't obscure the performances of Hannah Walker, who posted two points and 15 boards, and Megan Phan, who scored three points.
