Sailors put away Breakers

Newport Harbor High’s girls basketball team improved to 10-7 with

a 53-44 nonleague victory over the visiting Laguna Beach Breakers

Saturday night, and despite playing through a foul-plagued game, came

away with a balanced attack.

Ally Stoltz came off the bench for high-scoring honors with 10

points, while starters Victoria Swigart (nine points), Jillianne

Whitfield (nine points) and Athena Vasquez (eight points) added their

contributions.

Also with a strong effort was Megan Beeson with six points.

An 18-11 burst in the third quarter pushed the Sailors’ lead to

40-29 and the Sailors held off the Breakers down the stretch.

In another nonleague girls basketball game Saturday night:

El Toro 58, CdM 26 -- Corona del Mar’s Sea Kings tuned up for

their Pacific Coast League opener on Tuesday at Laguna Beach the hard

way, taking it on the chin by El Toro as the invaders jumped to a

16-8 first-quarter lead and never looked back.

Kelliann Klein led Corona del Mar’s scoring with eight points.

Corona del Mar fell to 5-9.
