The Glendale Vaqueros battled all 45 minutes but came up just short in a 60–59 overtime loss to the Sequoias. Glendale fought back from early deficits, pushed the game into extra time, and showed resilience throughout, but the Sequoias made the plays down the stretch to secure the win.
Shadel Ffrench was dominant on the boards, pulling down 24 rebounds—including 10 offensive boards—while contributing 12 points and three blocks, anchoring Glendale's defense and giving the team multiple second-chance opportunities. Kaitlin Johnson also posted a double-double with 12 points and 11 rebounds, and added several key assists to keep the offense moving.
Sammy Velasquez scored 13 points, including clutch free throws that helped Glendale tie the game late, while Aniah Bradley added 9 points and 5 rebounds to keep the Vaqueros in contention. Ella Costley added in 7 points, including a late three-pointer in overtime to give Glendale a late chance to take the lead.
Despite Glendale's balanced scoring and dominance on the boards, the Sequoias converted timely baskets in overtime to escape with the one-point win. Glendale forced turnovers and moved the ball well, but could not complete the comeback.
The loss drops Glendale to 2–1, but the team displayed heart, depth, and the ability to lean on star performances—signs that the Vaqueros will be competitive in every game moving forward.
