SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Senior Lexi London scored 14 points while freshman Elise Vipond added 13, but St. Francis shot just 10-for-49 from the floor for a 20.4 percent success rate in falling to Del Oro, 63-37, in the varsity finale of Monday's Sierra Foothill League girls' basketball home tripleheader.

The Troubadours even their overall record to 6-6 and open league play at 0-1. The Golden Eagles, ranked fourth in the Sac-Joaquin Section on MaxPreps, improve to 12-2 for the year with a 1-0 SFL mark.

Overall, SF lost to DO in all three levels for the night, with the Troubies' JV Red and JV Gold falling by final scores of 35-5 and 46-16, respectively.

Freshman Hassanah Ramsey-Gilbert led the Troubadours with nine rebounds, with London and senior Colleen Medina following with seven apiece. Medina also contributed six points, while Ramsey-Gilbert and senior Natalia Zitelli each chipped in two each.

Del Oro's Maddy Poe scored 11 of her 27 total points in the first period to boost her team to a 20-7 start, a margin that swelled to 34-14 at the halftime break then 40-16 on Wyatt Kelley's three-point play early in the third. London scored eight points in the third, including a three-pointer at the 1:03 mark to help close the gap somewhat to a 46-30 spread. She also assisted Vipond on a corner three – one of the two treys for the frosh phenom – to keep SF as close as 16 points at the 6:45 mark in the fourth. However, the Golden Eagles answered that with 11 straight during the next 3:24, including nine from Poe. The Vipond three-pointer ended up as the final Troubie field goal.

JV Gold suffered from similar shooting woes against the Golden Eagles, draining just 5 of 39 attempts for a .128 clip in the lead-in to the varsity finale. Junior Audrey Bashore grabbed nine rebounds while sophomore Catherine Gustafson pulled down another eight, but no Troubie managed more than Emmy Cheatham's five points. Bashore added four points, all in the final 25 seconds of the first period, as the only SF player with more than one field goal.

Opening the night, sophomore Natalia Esparza scored on an inbound play from Ella Renzo at the 5:25 mark in the second with freshman Sadie Favreau draining an 18-footer two minutes later, but JV Red fell into a 15-0 hole across the first 10 minutes of play and never recovered. DO freshman post Brooke McGrath scored half of her 20 points in the second to more than offset the two Troubie buckets.

St. Francis returns to action on Wednesday for a road tripleheader at Granite Bay.
