(Roselyn B. Monroyo)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Grace Christian Academy raced to its fifth straight victory after dominating two teams in the IT&amp;E Interscholastic Girls Middle School Basketball League last Wednesday at the Marianas High School Gymnasium.<\/p>\n<p>In the first game, Azriel Fatialofa scored 20 points in GCA\u2019s 33-0 blanking of the Lady Knights. The Lady Eagles led 15-0 at the half and then more than doubled that total when the game was all said and done. Alyssa Kim added 8 points for GCA. MCS fell to 1-2.<\/p>\n<p>In the last game of Wednesday\u2019s five-game set, GCA made it 2-for-2 for the day and scored its fifth straight win after a 25-2 near shutout of Tanapag Middle School. Fatialofa again dominated everyone with 15 big points. TMS dropped its third straight game.<\/p>\n<p>In the second game, Hopwood Middle School 2 almost mirrored GCA\u2019s win over MCS by also giving up no points against sister team Hopwood 1, 32-0.<\/p>\n<p>Kialeen Leemarvin scored 18 points for Hilitais 1. Hopwood 1 dropped its third straight game.<\/p>\n<p>Following the day\u2019s theme, Dandan Middle School also blanked a hapless Saipan Community School side, 11-0.<\/p>\n<p>Priscilla Tomokane led DMS with 4 points, while Sheena Yamada added 3 points for the Lady Tottots. The Lady Tsunamis succumbed to their second straight defeat after opening the season 2-0.<\/p>\n<p>In the day\u2019s penultimate game, Hopwood 2 won its second match of the day after downing Dandan, 11-6. They are now 2-3 in the middle school standings.<\/p>\n<p>Leemarvin scored all 11 the points and had a key sequence in the final moments of the game. The bruising forward made a 3-pointer then blocked a shot by a Dandan player to keep the Lady Tottots at bay. Dolores Sanchez led the now 2-3 DMS with 4 markers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Grace Christian Academy raced to its fifth straight victory after dominating two teams in the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":352333,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[21248],"class_list":["post-352330","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports","tag-lady-eagles"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/352330","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=352330"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/352330\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/352333"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=352330"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=352330"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=352330"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
