San Jose, CA — Southwest delivered a dominant road performance in a 79–41 win over Gavilan, setting the tone early with pressure defense, strong rebounding, and consistent scoring from its core rotation. The Cougars controlled the pace from start to finish, using active hands to force turnovers and create transition opportunities while maintaining poise in the half court. Rian Dillihunt and LaiLah Whittle each finished with 20 points, anchoring an offense that saw multiple players contribute across the board. Southwest rebounded well and received standout interior work from Emaya Trahan and Destiny Hurt-Floyd, who combined for 28 rebounds. The Cougs also shared the ball effectively, recording 24 assists as they continued to build rhythm in non-conference play. Southwest moves forward with momentum and improved execution on both ends as the Cougars continue their early-season road swing. In the second round of the San Jose City College tournament, the Cougs take on the host SJCC Jaguars tonight at 7 pm. |
