No. 19 Los Gatos 49, Notre Dame-San Jose 47
A game featuring each team playing just seven players ended with the Wildcats (15-5, 7-1) squeaking out a win to remain atop the Santa Clara Valley Athletic League’s De Anza Division.
Los Gatos, which has consistently been playing with nine players due to two season-ending injuries suffered before the season, rested two more who are suffering nagging injuries and had just enough scoring to eke out the victory.
Hanna Behnami led the Cats with 10 points, joining Rita Zhou, who also got into double figures. Amelia Vye had nine points, including the critical go-ahead 3-pointer with fewer than five seconds remaining in the contest.
Kendall Feichtmeir also had nine points. All seven Los Gatos players made at least one field goal.
“We needed every little bit,” Cats coach Sara Quilici Giles said. “Looking forward to seeing the rebound numbers because everyone was making an impact. It was an exciting win at NDSJ tonight.”
