Palomar (13-2) put five players in double figures, led by Allie Israel’s 18 points. Israel and Kendall Crosby (12 points) each knocked down 4 of the Comets’ 13 baskets from behind the 3-point arc.

Palomar started slowly, going 5 minutes, 12 seconds without a point late in the first quarter, which allowed Grossmont to battle the Comets to a 15-15 tie entering the second period.

Palomar then went on a 52-24 run in the second and third quarters to lead 67-39 entering the fourth period and twice led by 35 points before Grossmont closed the gap to the final 32-point margin.

Grossmont scoring vs. Palomar: Satori Roberson 15 (10 reb, 2 blk), Khiya Mohamed 11 (10 reb, 1 ast, 1 stl, 2 blk), Brittany Gafare 7 (3 reb, 3 ast, 2 stl), Kyra Bruesewitz 7, Renee Hannibal 6 (2 reb, 2 stl), Breanna Linson 5 (1 ast, 1 stl), Courtney Branch 2 (8 reb, 2 ast, 2 stl), Martina Toma 2 (7 reb, 1 ast), Lydia Halcott (3 reb, 2 ast, 1 blk).
