Windsor beats Carrillo, falls to Montgomery, Cardinal Newman
The Lady Jaguars navigated their toughest stretch of the North Bay League schedule last week, scoring one win in three outings against a couple of the league’s best teams.
Windsor (8-8, 2-4) opened the string in dominant fashion in a 68-26 rout at Maria Carrillo, but finished up with successive home losses to Montgomery (52-36) and Cardinal Newman (61-28).
“It was a tough week for the Lady Jaguars,” reported Windsor coach Joe Passalacqua. “Lack of focus and some missed assignments on defense against Montgomery hurt us. Cardinal Newman was simply the better team.”
The ladies will resume league play this week with scheduled home and away dates against visiting Ukiah (Jan. 17) and Casa Grande (Jan. 19). Windsor will visit Santa Rosa next Tuesday, Jan. 23. Tip off times for the JV and varsity are 5 and 7:30 p.m.
Jags notch win
It was all Windsor in a Jan. 8 meeting at Maria Carrillo, as the Lady Jaguars gained separation in a 28-7 second-quarter run to grab a 39-14 halftime lead. There was no let-up after intermission as the Jags powered to an eventual 68-26 rout.
Sabrina Simili took top scoring honors with 13 points, two rebounds and five assists. Other top performers were Gabby Giddings (12 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist), Mattie Murphy (( points, 3 boards, 2 assists), Jackie Vieyra (7 points, 3 rebounds), Hannah May (7 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal), Tori Russotti (7 points, 3 boards, 2 assists), Cecillia Smith (6 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals), Riley West (4 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assists, 2 steals) and Pauline Woodard 3 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 steals).
The girls got out to a slow start two nights later against Montgomery, spotting the Vikings a 30-14 halftime lead. Down by 21 after three, the Jags mounted a mild rally before falling 52-36.
Top scorers included Woodard (8 points, 4 rebounds), Smith (6 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal), Giddings (5 points, 4 rebounds), May (4 points, 1 rebound) and Simili (3 points, 6 boards, 2 assists, 1 steal).
The Jags never threatened in Friday’s home clash with nationally ranked Cardinal Newman, as the visitors raced to a 35-15 halftime cushion en route to a 61-28 rout. Top scorers were Giddings (9 points, 5 rebounds), May (8 points, 1 assist) and Smith (4 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists).
