Cooper Hits Key Basket in CSM Basketball Victory

CSM ended a four-game losing streak.

 

The College of San Mateo women's basketball team rose the roof at Skyline College on Wednesday night, edging the host Trojans, 42-38, in a Coast Conference North Division contest.

South San Francisco High grad Kay Cooper hit a three-pointer to put the Bulldogs (1-1 in conference play, 6-11 overall) ahead, 40-38, with 16 seconds remaining to play. Angalique Gibbs added a pair of free throws with two seconds left.


CSM, which ended a four-game losing streak, maintained the lead throughout the game. That is, until Mills High grad Stephanie DelBianco recorded a steal and went the length of the court for a layup to put Skyline ahead, 38-37, with 1:27 remaining to play.

The Trojans took advantage of an awful shooting game for the Bulldogs, who were 15 percent from the field after halftime.

Guard Teanna Price scored all of her CSM game-high 10 points (including two 3-pointers) in the first half and was then sidelined  with an injury.

Skyline (1-2, 4-11) was led by Malia Elliott-Tufonoere with 16 points, and DelBianco with 10. 

CSM hosts City College of San Francisco at 5:30 p.m. Friday while the Trojans visit CCSF next Wednesday at 5 p.m.

I see that I meant to type "...that connect us to the past," but I accidentally typedRead More "...and connect us to the past." I think my meaning came through, though. Yes, the world does not need another national chain retail store or restaurant, which is surely what they're planning to put in there.

Yes Bren, agree with you....good point.....really what it seems to come down to is money vs. theRead More good of the community and richness of traditions. And all despite the Master Plan for that site in San Mateo that seems to require an ice skating rink or similar recreational facility AT THAT SITE, and all despite the fact the Ice Chalet would like to continue operations there. The Developer has made it difficult to impossible for any ice rink to operate there (tricky it seems)....so they can get a cookie cutter retail outlet in ? .....very, very sad for the youth of the community.

I think the issue is much larger than whether children will experience stress. That ice rink is aRead More local institution, dating back at least to when Fashion Island was there. It's terrible for communities to lose so many landmarks and connect us to the past.
