Thousand Oaks (4-2, 2-0) overcame a 55-44 deficit with six minutes left - thanks to an unlikely hero. Detmer (27 points) scored her share throughout, but it was guard Andi Terada who made the difference. Shut out through the game's first 28 minutes, Terada scored nine of her team's final 13 points in the last four minutes as Thousand Oaks whittled away Simi Valley's lead. The Pioneers (4-2, 1-1) still led 58-56 with 2:44 left but guard Christina Mosesso (14 points) fouled out and Simi Valley struggled to control the ball. The Pioneers committed four turnovers from there but still had an opportunity to tie in the waning seconds. Leading scorer Shannon Malia, who scored 18 points, passed to Jamie Sturdivant under the basket as the clocked ticked. Sturdivant, who scored nine of her 17 points in the final quarter, was unable to get off a shot before the buzzer and the Lancers rushed the court in celebration. As seems to be tradition between these teams, it was a scrappy game. They combined for 46 fouls and 56 free throws in a contest that didn't find any kind of real flow until the last half of the fourth period. ``Everybody was rippin' and tearin' and hackin' and grabbin','' Brown said.
