But the Cougars are equally tough on defense. That was proven on Wednesday night as Valley College ran with Canyons for most of the game only to falter badly down the stretch in a 109-83 Western State Conference South Division loss at Canyons. With just under 10 minutes left in the game, the Monarchs List of monarchs may refer to:
Under intense pressure from Canyons guards LaCresha Clark and Kyetra Brown, the Monarchs were held to just one field goal during an eight-minute stretch and just three during the final 10 minutes as the Cougars sprinted away with the victory. ``It was a conditioning thing,'' Canyons coach Greg Herrick said. ``We broke them down psychologically. We were in pretty good shape at that point. They ran with us and that kind of surprised me. You have to give them credit. They battled.'' Clark was also troublesome to Valley on offense, guiding a quick transition game that was especially sharp in the second half. She finished with 30 points, leading an offense that had four other players score in double figures. Valley, which lost leading scorer Shawanda Hotchkiss last week to a knee injury, couldn't keep up.
