La Jolla rode a 30-5 streak in the second quarter to swamp visiting El Capitan and take a decisive 66-45 win in the Game On Sports Challenge Dec. 8. Sophomore guard Reed Farley had 19 points, including two three-pointers, with six assists in limited playing time.
In one sequence during the run that got the small midweek Vikings crowd oohing-and-aahing, 6'6" center Alex Pitrofsky blocked a Vaquero's shot, then immediately after the leaping Farley blocked the shot of a Vaquero who grabbed the loose ball and tried to follow with a score.
La Jolla trailed 16-11 with 58 seconds left in the first quarter. Once the Vikings ignited, they tied El Capitan at 16, then blew by on trip-after-trip downcourt. At halftime, the red-and-black led 41-21. The game was virtually decided by then.
