Sarah Hattis finished with 16 points and Mariah Gonzales added 10 for the Lady Horsemen (6-2). The blowout was not benefits. "You work on execution," Romero said. "We've been trying to run. The last two games we've gotten quite a few easy points off the fastbreak." Romero praised Capital.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I just wanted to wish everyone a merry belated Christmas and an early happy new year! We love you guys and miss you already. We had a wonderful Christmas and were blessed again this year with a visit from Santa. We even had a white Christmas with snow falling sporadically throughout the day. I had to sit back among the mess of wrapping paper and toys and just enjoy the happiness in my children. It truly was a blessed day. I hope that all of you had an equally great day! Can't wait to get together again. Love you all, Carly
