With a final score of 38-39 against Beckman High School, CdM’s varsity girls’ basketball put in their best efforts in this close game. This was also the final Pacific Coast League game before CdM enters CIF.

Junior Gabby Rapp scored a total of eleven points and eight rebounds. Junior Ellie Nadal also played well, scoring seven points along with five steals in the game. Beckman came back in the end, scoring their final points in the last five seconds of the game.

“The game was mostly in favor of us,” said sophomore player Melanie de Arakal. “But after the first half I feel like we sort of gave up and let them think that they had a chance.”

However, the Sea Queens aren’t about to let one close defeat get in their way for they are currently 14-12, 4-6 in league and finished fourth in league. The girls are also about to enter the CIF championship games and hope for undefeated success.
