COSTA MESA — Senior guard Alondra Barrera connected on a three-pointer at the buzzer, leading the Estancia High girls’ basketball team to its first win of the season — a 43-42 nonleague victory over visiting Garden Grove Tuesday.

Estancia Coach Tommy Rausch said Garden Grove had the ball out of bounds with three seconds left, but Estancia (1-3) forced a five-second turnover before Barrera hit the winner.

Tiffany Monteiro scored a team-high 10 points for the Eagles, Michelle Hallock added nine points and Tamisha Williams made four free throws down the stretch. Barrera finished with six points on two three-pointers.

Estancia plays host to Trabuco Hills on Saturday.
