After more than 13 hours of basketball, the unbeaten Eisenhower girls basketball team put the fourth annual Tourneytown.com Shootout to bed early in Monday’s nightcap.

The Cadets gave up the opening basket to rival Davis before ripping off 20 straight points en route to a 76-23 victory against the Pirates at the SunDome.

The victory opens the second round of Big Nine play for the Cadets, who improved to 12-0 for the season.

“What’s been hard for this team the last couple games has been to keep focus,” Ike coach John Triplett said.

No problem Monday night.

The Cadets were honed in from the get-go. Teyla Harvin scored the opening bucket of the game before the Cadets went on what proved to be the decisive run. Seven players scored in the outburst which spanned more than nine minutes of game time.

Graciella Mancilla’s bucket nearly three minutes into the second quarter broke the Pirates’ drought. But the Cadets followed with a 13-0 run and took a 41-7 lead into halftime.

The Cadets pressing defense forced 21 Davis turnovers in the first half and held the Pirates to 15 percent shooting (3 of 20) in the first half.

Ike continued the defensive pressure well through the third quarter, opening the period on an 12-6 run to build a 40-point lead nearly midway through the quarter.

The Cadets finished the game with a Shootout record 23 steals, while the Davis’ 39 turnovers is also tops the previous mark.

Laiken Dollente led Ike with 23 points and Marianne Lombardi added 14 points, seven rebounds and tied Claire Faucher for team-high with four steals. Faucher also dished out eight assists.

Harvin led the Pirates with six points and Aubry Gonzales had five assists.
