Dos Pueblos girls basketball dominated Pacifica to the tune of a 61-15 victory on Friday inside Sovine Gym.
Justine Katz poured in a game-high 25 points for the Chargers while the defense put on a clinic to cruise to the win.
The suffocating defense was on display throughout the entire game, but especially in the second half as the Chargers held Pacifica to just one point in the final two quarters.
Sierra Jewell had a big performance in the paint for Dos Pueblos, hauling in 14 rebounds.
“That is the most rebounds anyone has had all year for us,” Charger coach Manny Murillo said of Jewell’s performance. “She is a tough kid and has been playing really well. That is the effort everyone needs to play with from here on out.”
Seven different players found the bottom of the basket for Dos Pueblos en route to the win.
The Chargers (18-7, 8-3) will have a tough matchup at home against Oxnard on Tuesday.
“Oxnard will be a rough, physical battle,” Murillo said. “We have proved we can win in an up-and-down skilled game and we’ve proved we can win grind-it-out physical games.”
Santa Ynez 44, Atascadero 38
