Arcata 54, Lower Lake 45, OT

The Arcata girls opened the Trojan Classic at Durham with a nine-point overtime win over Lower Lake.

The Tigers shot poorly early in the game, and, in head coach Doug Oliveira’s words, looked like a team that had just spent five hours on a bus.

“We shot the ball really horribly in the first half,” the head coach said. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen a team dominate as much as we did and be down 18-13 at the half.”

The Tigers came out the stronger of the two teams in the second half and quickly began to assert themselves, but a late rally by the Trojans saw them re-take the lead.

Jocelyn Bliven hit a late free throw to force overtime, and the Arcata girls quickly took control of the extra period with back-to-back 3-pointers to open up.

Kali Zanotti scored 12 points to pace the Tigers, who outscored the Trojans 15-6 in OT.

Sophia Belton added 10 points in the win and teammate Raja Cohen nine.

The Tigers ended a two-game losing skid with the win and improved to 3-2.

McKinleyville 32, University Prep 36
