Girls basketball: Sailors win in OT

COSTA MESA - Athena Vasquez scored four of her game-high 17 points

in overtime to lead Newport Harbor High’s girls basketball team to a

35-34 overtime win over Rubidoux in the consolation quarterfinals of the

Costa Mesa Tournament Tuesday afternoon.

Vasquez tied the game with 15 seconds remaining with a jumper to force

overtime.

From there, Newport Harbor (3-10) jumped out to a five-point lead and

held on for the win.
