Lorenzo Patrick and Adams did most of their damage in the second half. Patrick scored 10 points in the fourth quarter, and 16 in the second half. Adams scored nine in the fourth quarter. That helped negate a strong fourth quarter by St. Al’s Luke Burnett, who scored 11 of his 15 points in the period.

The game was close until Sebastopol finished the first half with a 14-3 run, then opened the second half with a 7-2 spurt. That stretched a five-point lead to as many as 19.

St. Al (3-13, 1-4) cut it to nine, 43-34, with about five minutes to play in the game. Sebastopol answered with yet another run, however, to push it back into double digits and the Flashes never threatened again.

The Lady Flashes were shut out over the last 2 1/2 quarters, and Sebastopol eased on to an easy victory.

Katrina Pace and Lexus Kennedy scored 13 points apiece for Sebastopol.
