With standout guard Nicole Hung sitting out Tuesday, Nicole Nesbit knew the pressure to lead her team could build up.

But the Harvard-Westlake of Studio City sophomore didn't let being minus a team leader rattle her. Instead it was Nesbit and her teammates who mounted the pressure with their stingy stin·gy

After a close first half, the host Wolverines (12-7, 4-0) surged in the third quarter, outscoring the Eagles (13-7, 2-2) by a 22-9 margin behind Nesbit's team-high 23 points and five assists.

With Hung, a sophomore, nursing a right knee injury, Nesbit combined with sophomore forward Sydney Haydel to make up for Hung's absence.

Haydel finished with 11 points and sixrebounds, all in the second half.

Hung, the team's No. 2 scorer averaging 12.4 points per game, has a small lateral meniscus The lateral meniscus (external semilunar fibrocartilage) is nearly circular and covers a larger portion of the articular surface than the medial meniscus.

"Because Nicole brings a lot of points, we knew we both have to step up and incorporate all of our teammates into our game," Haydel said. "We needed to realize that without her we're still a competitive team."

Wolverines coach Melissa Hearlihy wasn't surprised with her team's performance, especially on defense. Nesbit, who finished with seven steals, led a defensive effort that forced 18 Chaminade turnovers.

"That's the style I've always loved to play," Hearlihy said. " You can do more with less if you play strong defense."
