The offense performed well to create scoring opportunities for them to put points up on the board.

Head coach Michael Allen put all of his confidence in the team because he knows they have determination.

“Hard work brings change, everything falls into place,” said Allen. “This game was really important to us because we are 7-2, this puts us in the driver’s seat to win the conference in quite a few years since 2014.”

De Anza played great defense by guarding the three-point line but Cabrillo College didn’t seem phased by the hard defense and found a way to put points on the board.

Both the efforts on offense and defense brought out the energy in the home crowd as they cheered on.

To end the game, the offense was able to make shots just outside the key and few layups to put themselves ahead by 10 points.

Douglas said she is really proud of her team and that they did a great job keeping their composure by not letting the other team get into rhythm.

“If we just keep that up every game from here on out is ours,” she said.
