Diana Navarro netted 16 points in the effort, grabbing 5 rebounds. Malia Rocha hit 3 three-pointers in the game, and also posted 5 rebounds and 3 assists.

Citrus was a perfect 7 for 7 from the free throw line, their best performance of the season as a team. The Citrus bench also walloped the Antelope Valley bench, outscoring the visiting reserves 15-4. The Owls led by as many as 26 points in the 4th quarter.
