But Foothill offense picked up the ball from the block and scored, increasing Foothill’s lead. In the remainder of the quarter, Foothill scored twice, resulting in a 10-point lead in Foothill’s favor.
Foothill started strong in the first quarter and got two goals. But DV’s Witney Lam soon got the ball, and chucked it across the pool, where it landed into the goal, making the score 14-2. The Wildcats didn’t rally, though, losing 17-2 by the end of the quarter.
In the fourth quarter, Foothill scored six times in a row, leading the final score at 23-2.
