The Lady Warriors came away with two wins in three games in the Turlock Christian Tournament last week as they continued to enjoy early-season success.

Orestimba, after battling through two nail-biters in the opening rounds, put the defensive clamps on Summerville to win their final-round game 36-26.

A 14-6 first-quarter run gave the Lady Warriors an early cushion, and after scoring just eight points through the middle two quarters Orestimba put the game away late.

Sarah Spaulding, who was named to the all-tournament team, led Orestimba with 12 points and Carlee Felber was in double figures with 10. Joelma Sousa chipped in six points, Kristin Moore and Roxanne Corella each had three and Chelsea Kimball was on the score sheet with two points.

Spaulding rounded out her performance with nine rebounds and three steals. Courtney Stettler and Brooke Corgiat each had seven boards.

Central Valley 45, OHS 44 (2 OT)

Orestimba hit several big free throws and timely shots at the end of regulation and through both overtime periods before coming up one point short against Central Valley Friday.

“This was probably the best game we’ve played so far,” said Coach Scott Felber. “We did a good job rebounding, and we only had 12 turnovers. If we play the way we did in this game, we’ll win a lot of games this season.”

Orestimba battled back from a 19-13 halftime deficit to force the extended play.

Spaulding lit up the board for 17 points. Corella finished with nine points, Sousa chipped in seven, Corgiat collected six points, Felber and Kimball each scored two and Stettler added a free throw.

Corella and Corgiat anchored the boards with 11 and 10 rebounds, respectively.

Spaulding blocked eight shots, while Corgiat rejected six.

OHS 33, Escalon 32

The Lady Warriors built a big lead early and held off an Escalon rally for the first-round tournament win last Thursday.

Spaulding poured in 19 points. Felber and Corella each scored five, and Sousa and Tiffany Nooe chipped in two points each.

Spaulding was credited with nine steals, while Felber dished out five assists.

Stettler dominated the boards, coming down with 16 rebounds. Sousa was credited with nine boards.

OHS 51, Waterford 43

The Lady Warriors overcame a slow start to open their week with a win over host Waterford.

Orestimba trailed 6-4 after a defensive-minded opening stanza, but went on a 24-11 run in the second quarter to take control of the game.

Spaulding led a balanced scoring attack with 11 points. Felber and Stettler each had nine points, Kimball contributed seven, Corella finished with six, Sousa scored four, Nooe had three and Corgiat accounted for two points.

Orestimba faced Escalon Wednesday. The Lady Warriors open play in the Hilmar Tournament today (Thursday). The tournament continues through Saturday.
