Citrus College closed out the November slate with a dominant 94-54 victory over MiraCosta College Tuesday as two Owls shot at 100-percent from the field.
The Owls improve to 5-1, while the Spartans slip to 2-5.
Chris Harper was on fire, not missing a single shot from the field and just one from the charity stripe. He finished with 20 points (6-for-6) and grabbed seven boards.
Four other Owls also finished in double figures with Jayden Johnston – also with a hot hand – posting 12 points (4-for-4) and Anthony Tello, Dylon Davis and Nate Crowley each added 10 points.
The game started close for the first five minutes, but Leonard Turner sparked a 10-0 run to create some distance for Citrus. Harper and Crowley each got in on the run to put the Owls up 28-11.
Just before the buzzer sounded to end the half, Harper drained a three from the corner off a Chris Chiles assist to give Citrus a 53-27 upper hand at the break.
The Owls kept rolling and built a 40-point lead off a Harper trey halfway through the half. It almost gave way to a 50-point lead with five minutes left as Davis banked in a layup off a Crowley assist, 86-39.
MiraCosta put a run together to try to chip away at the deficit, but the Owls wouldn't let the Spartans get too close as they held on for a 94-54 victory.
Citrus is back in action on Friday, Dec. 3, as it hosts Victor Valley at 4:00 p.m.
