Freshman guards Jezelle Moreno and Brillana Boyd set the tone for the Vikings’ dominating 74-54 victory against L.A. Southwest on Feb. 21.
This win marks the Vikings’ eighth straight win and has added another win to their conference record as they are now 7-0 in conference matchups.
Moreno filled up her stat sheet with a 16-point, 12-rebound double-double along with six assists and one steal.
“I feel like my role on the team is that I have to bring energy. Our big thing is rebounding on the team, and that leads to energy. So going up and getting boards, it helps me personally and helps me push in transition so I can look for my teammates,” Moreno said.
Brillana Boyd led the scoring charge for the Vikings as she scored 25 points on the night, 16 being scored in the first half.
Along with Boyd’s monstrous first half, LBCC as a whole took a 27-8 lead going into the second quarter and a 23-point lead going into halftime as the score was 43-20.
Moreno achieved her double-double before the fourth quarter as she had 12 points and 12 rebounds through three quarters of play.
LBCC ran away with the game as the fourth quarter passed by as the game ended in a 74-54 blowout victory.
Vikings head coach Tay Adams showed her ecstatic emotions after the game as her team is now one step closer to a conference championship.
“We’ve been preparing for that postseason stretch since the second half of the season, so just keeping that together and going forth in the direction we’re going and all of our motivations and focus is getting that title,” Adams said.
LBCC had one more game for the season as the Vikings traveled to Cerritos College in a conference matchup on Friday and won the matchup 68-59, securing its fourth straight conference championship.
The Vikings will go up against Cuesta at LBCC on Wednesday for their first game of regionals.
