Salesian avenges MLK Day loss to Piedmont in defensive struggle to win NorCal Open semifinal, looks forward to rematch with Mitty
Asidanya coasted in for a layup off a steal, Maya Love-Sangco made her only three-pointer of the game, and then D’yani Bernstine nailed two free throws. Piedmont didn’t get on the scoreboard until the 4:57 mark when Trinity Zamora made a free throw and also put back a Piedmont miss.
The shot was long, and Salesian went to the free-throw line. After missing the front end of a one-and-one, a last-second halfcourt heave by a Piedmont player came up well short. Asidanya and Kanazawa led Salesian with 11 points each, Sofia Fidelus scored seven points, and Eryn Gardner grabbed 10 rebounds. Martinez scored a game-high 20 points for Piedmont , and Eva Levingston scored 11 points while being the focus of the Salesian gameplan.
“It’s a tough game down there,” Pezzola said, before adding, “but we’ve gone down there with teams as the underdogs before, and come out with the victory.”
