If it's somebody else, that's fine too. We have enough talent on this team where we don't have to rely on just one or two players to win. ``Valencia proved it is a very good team tonight, and we're happy to get out of here with a win.'' Hart (14-2 overall, 2-0 Foothill), the top-ranked team in the area by the Daily News, trailed 59-57 with 1:06 remaining in the fourth quarter after Valencia's Chelsey Hastigan connected on a 3-pointer from the right corner. The Indians tied the score at 59-59 with 47 seconds remaining in regulation on a layup by Amanda Ajdari. No.4 Valencia (12-4, 1-1) failed to score on its next possession, but got the ball back with nine seconds remaining when Ford was called for a questionable traveling violation. Hastigan drove down the right side of the court on the next possession, but stepped out of bounds near the half-court line with three seconds remaining to send the game to overtime. Hart scored the first four points in overtime, and never trailed in the extra period. ``Hart is a good team, and they executed well tonight,'' Valencia coach Jerry Mike said. ``We think we have enough talent to beat them, so I'm not going to say we're pleased with almost winning. ``Hart made a bunch of big shots, and we responded with a bunch of big shots of our own. If we would have hit one more shot here or there, then we would have won. It's as simple as that.'' Valencia, which overcame a 15-point first-half deficit, got 17 points from Hastigan, with help from Brooke Sansone (11points), Alison Ceppi (11) and Charise Hall (10).
