Facing a team can be problematic for teams that have previously succeeded against them.
This was the case for the No. 4 seed Fresno City College, which faced No. 20 Taft in the second round of the CCCAA Northern California regionals.
No problem. The Rams rolled to an 86-55 victory, led by Sara Shein's 21 points.
Alyssa Kem chipped in with 16 points, and Jaelyn Bourdeau added 14.
The Rams broke the game open in the second quarter, outscoring the Cougars 33-18.
Both teams play in the Central Valley Conference.
Fresno City will next face No. 5 Santa Rosa on March 7, with the winner advancing to the state tournament at College of the Sequoias in Visalia. The Sweet Sixteen will take place on March 12 and 14-15.
