References 1. ^ [1] Cochran, Saturday's matchup with Harvard-Westlake of Studio City hardly had the makings of a critical Mission League girls' basketball game. But for a game that wasn't supposed to be big, Harvard-Westlake's 65-53 victory certainly turned out to be a good one. The Wolverines led only 39-37 at the start of the fourth quarter as they struggled with Chaminade's height and physical style of play.

Chaminade (12-8, 3-1) could not say the same. For the game, the Eagles were only 8 of 15 from the line. ``We had a hard time setting up our offense because they pressed all game and forced us to rush a lot of shots,'' said Cochran, who had a team-high 17 points, nine rebounds, three blocks and three steals. ``We were in it the whole game, but we didn't handle their intensity on the press well in the fourth quarter.''

Also key for the Wolverines was senior center Amanda Maddahi, who had four points and 15 rebounds. ``This is definitely the best rivalry in the Mission League,'' said Clark, who has signed a letter of intent to play at Washington next year. ``We keep switching off who wins.''
