Bishop Diego girls basketball got out to a hot start and cruised to a 47-16 win over Malibu on Wednesday.
The Cardinals defense held Malibu scoreless in the first quarter and that momentum carried into the second, with Bishop Diego leading 30-7 at halftime.
“Our defense really played well,” Cardinals coach Jeff Burich said. “The team rotated and really did a great job keeping them in front and anticipating passes.”
From there, Bishop Diego got everyone on the roster minutes and pulled out the big win.
“Our starters really play well together and it was fun to watch tonight,” Burich said. “It was nice to get everyone in the game and see everyone get touches. I was pleased with how unselfish we played and how we moved the ball on offense.”
The Cardinals were led by Jaymi Coronado’s 12-point performance while Galilea De La Cruz collected 11 and Kasey Seashore added eight of her own.
Bishop Diego (12-1) will now take a few weeks off before competing in the Avalon Classic beginning on Dec. 27.
