Women's Basketball Finishes Third in Classic Behind Jiron Last Second Shot

VALLEY VILLAGE - Sophomore Jordyn Jiron made a lay-up with less than one second left in the game to beat San Francisco City, 61-59, to help the Monarchs finish third in the LAVC Buddy's All-Star Classic.

It was a back-and-forth affair, with the Monarchs taking a seven point lead with five minutes to go in the game.  San Fransisco stormed back to tie the game with two and a half minutes left on the clock.  After trading leads, Jiron muscled her way into the key and put up a lay-up on the right side to solidify the win.

Fittingly, Jiron led the Monarchs with 19 points.  She also had nine rebounds and seven assists and was named to the All-Star Classic All-Tournament team. 

Two other Monarchs finished with double-digit points - Jackie Privado and Dyani Del Castillo had 14 points each.  

Congratulations to the Monarchs on a hard fought win!
