Malibu’s size advantage wore down Carpinteria in the second half, and the Sharks pulled away to an 81-47 victory in a Frontier League basketball game.
Carpinteria played a good first half, scoring 20 points in the first quarter and trailed just 34-30 at halftime.
“I was very pleased with our aggressive play both on offense and defense in the half,” coach Henry Gonzalez said. “We competed at a high level. The second half was a different story.
“Our effort was still good but the execution fell off some and they were able to start to take advantage of their size.”
Carpinteria falls to 2-5 overall and 2-4 in league.
The Warriors play host to Bishop Diego on Saturday at 7 p.m.
