Despite an explosive effort to catch up after forfeiting a slight lead in the first half, the Mission College Angels bested the De Anza Dons in the last few minutes of the game with an ending score 67-56 Jan. 20.
This brings the Dons’ season record to 12-10, with eight more games until the playoffs.
Notable moments included two fast breaks lead by Brittney Moseley within seconds of each other that left the crowd cheering for more. But the Angels’ defense would quickly learn from their mistakes and tighten up enough to keep the win from the Dons’ hands.
“Our 6-foot 2-inches” center [Alex Scoffone] had been missing for 10 games, which is really hurting our rebound percentage,” said Dons head coach Arden Kragalott. Scoffone had been out due to a stress fracture until cleared for the Jan. 27 match against Chabot College.
