Erika Ward Named All-State Tournament

 

  Mar. 15, 2009    Ventura College freshman Erika Ward was named to the all-state tournament team for her performance leading the Pirates into the state semifinals.  In two games in the Elite Eight, Ward scored 46 points for VC, including 31 in the team's 106-93 semifinal loss to eventual state champion Pasadena City College.  In two games Erika shot 13-24 from the floor, including 9-14 from 3-point range, and connected on all 11 of her free throw attempts.  Additionally she had 11 rebounds, eight assists, and five steals at the state tournament in Fresno. 

 

Pirate freshman Erika Ward had a stellar performance, scoring 31 points and hitting seven 3-pointers, but it was not enough as VC dropped a 106-93 decision to Pasadena in the State Semifinals at Fresno Saturday night.
