The shots weren’t falling for Napa Valley College in the first quarter of the Storm Surge on Thursday.
The Storm had some good looks, both from the inside and outside, but they came away with just nine points to show for it.
“I think it was more of like we weren't really playing well, and our offense wasn't really flowing well,” said Arianna Aguilar, a returning sophomore. “I knew I had to step it up for the team to get the win.”
Aguilar took over for Napa Valley, the host of the fifth annual Storm Surge, a preseason women’s basketball invitational tournament, which continues on Friday, Dec. 12 and Saturday, Dec. 13.
Aguilar, a guard who was named All-Bay Valley Conference last year, took charge, scoring 17 points in the second quarter and leading the Storm to a 30-19 lead at halftime. She had two 3-pointers and made all three of her free throws in that stretch, igniting the Storm’s attack as they went on to beat Porterville College, 61-36, in a first-round game.

“It's just one of those things where you don't even think about, it” said Rogers, a sophomore who is from Vanden High School-Fairfield. “It just kind of happens. You let the ball fly and it just it does what it does.”
Rogers, one of four returning players, tied his season high with 18 points, as he led three players in double-figure scoring in host Napa Valley’s 79-59 win over Hartnell College-Salinas.
