FREMONT – An impressive fourth quarter effort paved the way for a solid come-from-behind win for the Ross girls basketball team Monday.

Lady Giants coach Juan Vela called timeout with 3:10 to play in the third quarter and from that point on, the Lady Giants were a different team. Ross held Findlay to just two field goals for the rest of the game and outscored the Trojans by 14 points on its way to a 55-44 victory.

The victory snaps the Lady Giants’ three-game losing streak and improves their record to 10-7 overall, 4-5 in the TRAC.

Ross began the game with one of its best opening quarters of the season, led 20-13 lead entering the second quarter and led by 10 after Brooklyn Baptista drained a 3-pointer on the first shot of the second period.

Then things began to turn sideways on the Lady Giants.

Behind a hot stretch of shooting, Findlay went on an 8-0 run and took momentum into halftime, trailing the Lady Giant by just one point, 27-26.

The Trojans continued their solid play into the second half, taking their first lead of the game and holding a four-point advantage, 35-31, when Vela called timeout with 3:10 to play in the third.

The Lady Giants went back to work. They closed the quarter on a 5-0 run to re-take the lead entering the fourth quarter, 36-35.

In the final period, Ross returned to the style of play it showed in the first quarter. Jazmin Bulger drained a 3-pointer to open the quarter then later scored on a fast break after stealing the ball on the defensive end. Rachel Gore assisted on a jump shot by Ahlia Simms and Bulger scored again in transition off a Findlay turnover to take a double-digit lead, 51-40, with just over two minutes to play.

From Vela’s timeout in the third quarter, Ross held Findlay to just two field goals over the final 11:10 of the game, outscoring the Trojans 23-9.

Bulger finished with a game-high 24 points, including 13 in the fourth quarter, and came away with five steals. Brooklyn Baptista added 11 points and Olivia Baptista scored nine.

The Lady Giants return to action Thursday at 7:30 when they host Lima Senior.
