Mater Dei’s girls basketball team overcame shooting 34 percent from the floor to defeat visiting Redondo 52-45 in a CIF-SS Open Division playoff game in Group D on Saturday.
The Monarchs (24-5) didn’t have a player score in double-figures but held Redondo (17-11) to one of its lowest scoring outputs of the season.
“Gutted it out when things weren’t going well — credit Redondo,” Mater Dei coach Jody Wynn said. “Proud of our group.”
Guards Harmony Golightly and Rachel Goran each scored nine points for Mater Dei.
With the victory, the fifth-seeded Monarchs play at No. 4 Sage Hill on Wednesday in the Pool D final, a berth in the quarterfinals and automatic spot in the CIF Southern California Regional.
The game will pit Sage Hill, ranked No. 1 in Orange County, against No. 2 Mater Dei.
The Lightning extended their winning streak to 20 games with a 74-47 victory against Redondo on Thursday.
