[Middle English daunten, from Old French danter, from Latin , but the result was the same as the Panthers came back in the second half to beat the Scorpions 46-40 in a nonleague game at Camarillo. Newbury Park, which trailed by nine points at one point in the second quarter, improved its passing and shot selection as the game progressed and therefore cut down on costly turnovers. ``Camarillo is a very aggressive team, so we kind of had to settle our girls down at halftime,'' said Newbury Park coach Nori Parvin, whose team improved to 3-2. ``Even though we weren't scoring many points in the first half, neither were they, so I was pretty pleased with our defensive effort. ``We needed to get our girls to be more aggressive and shoot the ball, even if they don't make the shots.'' The Scorpions (3-3), who led 18-13 at halftime, fell prey to the Panthers' full-court pressure defense in the second half. ``We're still trying to break some bad habits bad habit Unhealthy habit Clinical medicine A patterned behavior regarded as detrimental to physical or mental health, which is often linked to a lack of self-control.

The Scorpions hung tough, and neither team took more than a two-point lead until Lindsay Clark's two free throws put Camarillo up 32-28 with 26 seconds left in the quarter.

No Camarillo player reached double figures, and Clark led the Scorpions with eight points. Starting forward Lauren Ferreira scored seven points but fouled out early in the fourth quarter. Both teams struggled on offense in the first quarter. Newbury Park didn't score its first field goal until 2:18 remained in the second quarter, and starting forward Jamie Dirksing was already on the bench with two fouls. The Scorpions went into the bonus late in the first quarter, but couldn't take advantage. Camarillo missed six of its first nine free-throw attempts, and started to pull away only when the free throws began to drop. The Panthers would score five of the next six points, four of them by Harris, to close to within five at halftime. |
