Rams Roar in First Quarter, but Foothill Prevails: A Tale of Turnovers

On Monday, December 4th, the Rams opened league play with a solid first quarter against Foothill. Our half-court press defense kept the Dragons to just 7 points while the Rams got balanced scoring from their guards to take a 10-7 lead after the first 8 minutes.

Foothill turned things around in the second quarter when they initiated a full-court press that led to turnovers and fatigue for the Rams. Despite breaking the press with key dribbling from Ada Hansen ’24, Sam Jimenez ’25 and Sophia Ospina ’25, and essential screens from Sanai Edwards ’25, the press wore the Rams down and took us out of our offense. This initiated an 8-point turnaround going into halftime, with the Dragons up 18-13.
