Anzar’s slow start in the first half was enough for Overfelt Thursday in San Jose, as the Royals defeated the Hawks 52-38.
Alyssa Rodriguez had 17 points for Anzar to go along with four assists and four steals, while Nicole Mello contributed seven points and seven rebounds.
Although Anzar outscored Overfelt 30-28 in the second half, they trailed 24-8 at halftime.
“We really had a tough time taking care of the ball,” coach Aaron Netzel said. “We start slow and finish strong, but we can’t play just three quarters.
“It should have been a closer contest all the way around.”
