Knights Defeat Mesa, 46-31, For 2nd Win in a Row
Sophomore guard Bethany Wong led the Knights with 20 points and nine rebounds in a 46-31 win over PCAC rival San Diego Mesa at home on Friday night.

Both teams struggled to put points on the board in the first half. Neither team was able to get to double figures until Knights' sophomore Shaelei Lucas hit a jumper to give City an 11-7 lead with 7:07 left in the half. Although the Knights shot a poor 32 percent in the half they took a 17-11 lead into halftime after holding Mesa to 12.1 percent from the floor. Mesa made only four of their 33 shots in the half.

In the second period, Mesa cut the Knights' lead to 23-20 after a three-point basket by Anglea Eley with 14:02 left, but that would be as close as they got. City went on a 19-6 run that gave them a 42-26 lead with 2:09 remaining. Wong scored 11 points during that run including a jumper, a layup, a three-pointer, two free throws and another jumper.

Freshman forward Michelle Brown scored nine points to go with a game-high 12 rebounds and five blocks.

The Knights will play five of their final six games on the road beginning with Palomar on Feb. 3 at 5:00 p.m.

Wong Scores 28 as the Knights Upset Imperial Valley, 68-55
The women's basketball team had one of their best performances of the season, if not the best, in a 68-55 victory over Imperial Valley at home on Wednesday night.

Sophomore guard Bethany Wong led all players with 28 points on 9-of-17 shooting. She also pulled down six rebounds and had two steals.

Imperial Valley started the game out in a full-court press, but the Knights easily broke it nearly every time down the floor. The Knights took advantage and went on a 12-0 run early in the game to go ahead 15-5.

The Arabs got within two or three points on several occasions, but the Knights had an answer each time as they built the lead back up to eight points. At the half, City was ahead 37-29.

The second half started with an 8-0 run by the Knights. A layup by Michelle Brown, a jumper by Wong and two straight jumpers by Molly Magee gave them their biggest lead of the game at 45-29. Imperial Valley got back into the game with the same press that wasn't working in the first half. The Arabs forced the Knights into 14 turnovers in a span of five minutes to cut their deficit to 52-45 with 5:45 left.

Wong came up huge on the next two possessions for the Knights. She hit a jumper and then nailed a three-pointer from the top of the arc to extend City's lead to 12 and pretty much put the game away. The Knights tightened up their defense down the stretch and won 68-55.

Sophomore forward Shaelei Lucas scored nine points and pulled down eight rebounds. Freshman forward Michelle Brown scored eight points and grabbed 11 rebounds. Freshman guard D'Arjene Porter put in eight points to go with six rebounds and six steals in 40 minutes of action.

Knights Fall To Grossmont, 71-49
The women's basketball team got behind early and could never recover as they lost to Grossmont, 71-49, at home on Friday night.

The game was tied 11-11 in the first half, but The Griffins went on 16-0 run and eventually took a 41-21 lead at halftime.

The second half did not get any better for the Knights as they fell behind by as many as 30 points. The Knights shot only 27.7 percent for the game and committed 29 turnovers that led to 26 points for Grossmont.

Sophomore guard Bethany Wong was the only player to score in double figures for the Knights as she put in 12 points to go with 10 rebounds and two blocks.
 

1/15/10
Knights Downed by Mira Costa, 57-47
Freshman guard D'Arjene Porter had 16 points and five rebounds in a 57-47 loss to Mira Costa on Friday night.

The Knights had trouble putting the ball through the hoop as they shot 31 percent from the floor in the first half and fell behind by as many as nine, but went into the locker room down just six at 27-21.

City got as close as 33-29 early in the second half after a pair of free throws by sophomore guard Bethany Wong, but Mira Costa went on a 12-4 run to take a 45-33 lead with 9:40 left.

The Knights played tough defense throughout as they held Mira Costa to 28.8 percent shooting, but City could not cut into Mira Costa's lead due to their own poor shooting. SDCC had two stretches of nearly four minutes in the second half without scoring and could not get any closer than eight points the rest of the way. They shot only 21.9 percent in the second half and 26.2 percent for the game.

Freshman guard Felicity Pet was the only other player for the Knights to score in double figures as she put in 11 points. Freshman forward Michelle Brown put together another strong performance on the boards and on defense as she brought down 15 rebounds and blocked five shots.

Although their shots weren't falling, the Knights' ball movement was great as they had 14 assists on 16 field goals. Their next two games are on the road at Southwestern on Jan. 20 and at Grossmont on Jan. 22.

Knights Win Big As They Double Up On Cuyamaca, 86-43
The women's basketball team put up their highest point total of the season in a one-sided, 86-43, victory over visiting Cuyamaca on Wednesday night.

Sophomore guard Bethany Wong got things going for the Knights by scoring the first points of the game on a three-pointer that gave them a lead they would not relinquish. The Knights jumped out to a 19-6 advantage and never looked back as they kept their foot on the pedal for all 40 minutes.

The Knights had built a 21-point lead by halftime and it inflated to as many as 47 late in the second half. Their offense was working as good as at any point this season. Both the starters and reserves were able to find the right option and attack the paint throughout the game. City outscored Cuyamaca 50-16 on points in the paint.

The Knights also had a 27-2 advantage on fast break points, a 15-3 advantage on second chance points and an impressive 44-6 edge on bench points.

Knights Lose PCAC Home Opener, 78-60, to Palomar
It was a tale of two halves for the women's basketball team in the conference home opener on Friday night. The Knights were down only two after the first 20 minutes, but the wheels came off in the second half as they end up losing to Palomar, 78-60.

The Knights (1-15, 0-2 PCAC) got off to a great start as they went ahead 11-3 after two straight three-point baskets by freshman guard Felicity Pet. They were up on first place Palomar (11-4, 2-0 PCAC) 18-9 seven minutes into the game, but Palomar tied the game at 19-19 with a 10-1 run midway through the first half and eventually took a 35-33 lead at the half.

Although the Palomar Comets collected 16 offensive rebounds in the half, the Knights defense held strong as the Comets were only allowed six second chance points. The Knights defense also held Palomar to 23.1 percent from the floor on 9-of-39 shooting.

The second half was a different story as the Knights could not duplicate the first half results. Palomar, led by Nyla Bailey's 19 points and 12 rebounds, started the half on a 16-2 run to break the game open. They eventually built their lead up to as many as 25 points.

The Comets' size was a big difference, especially on the boards. They outrebounded the Knights 57-36 overall and 30-11 on offensive rebounds.

Sophomore guard Bethany Wong led the Knights with 18 points, eight rebounds and two blocks. Sophomore guard Molly Magee put in 11 points and dished out four assists.

Knights Fall To Compton, 72-61
The women's basketball team came into Saturday night's game against Compton looking to build off their third place finish at the San Diego City Invitational Tournament a week ago, but City could not overcome a 21-point deficit and lost, 72-61.

The Lady Knights fell behind early as they weren't able to find any kind of rhythm on offense in the first half. They shot 11.8 percent on 2-of-17 shooting while allowing Compton to make 41.4 percent of their shots. SDCC went into the halftime break down 30-12.

Led by Valeeta Perry's 24 points, Compton extended its lead to 21 points four minutes into the second half, but that's when things turned around for City. Freshman guard D'Arjene Porter became more aggressive on the offensive end as she scored eight of her 13 points during an 18-4 run that cut the Lady Knights' deficit to 47-40 with 9:12 remaining in the game. Compton, however, responded with an 11-4 run and did not allow the Lady Knights to come closer than nine points the rest of the game.

Sophomore guard Bethany Wong led the Lady Knights in scoring for the second straight game with 17 points. Freshman forward Michelle Brown recorded her third double-double of the season with 10 points and 12 rebounds. Felicity Pet also scored in double figures with 11 points. In addition to her 13 points, Porter had seven assists and four steals.
