The Glendale Vaqueros extended their perfect start to the season with a 59–53 victory over San Diego City, powered by dominant performances from Shadel Ffrench and Sammy Velasquez and steady contributions across the roster.

Ffrench controlled the paint from start to finish, grabbing 21 rebounds—including 8 offensive boards—and scoring 23 points on efficient 10-of-12 shooting. Her presence on both ends of the floor altered shots, secured second-chance opportunities, and set the tone defensively, making it difficult for San Diego City to gain momentum.

Velasquez matched her scoring with 23 points, hitting five three-pointers and providing clutch shots whenever the Knights threatened to make a run. Her shooting stretched the floor and opened driving lanes, allowing Glendale to maintain a balanced offensive attack throughout the game.

Other key contributors helped Glendale sustain its lead. Aniah Bradley added points and grabbed four rebounds, Kaitlin Johnson and Ella Costley facilitated ball movement with a combined eight assists, and Mariah Maestas sparked energy off the bench with timely shooting and rebounds. Leandra Nazarian chipped in with four points, while the team as a whole forced 12 turnovers, limiting San Diego City's opportunities to climb back into the game.

San Diego City battled but Glendale's early dominance—especially the 20–12 first quarter—gave the Vaqueros enough cushion to withstand the late push.

With balanced scoring, relentless rebounding, and strong defensive effort, Glendale moves to 2–0, showing the combination of star power and depth that could define their season.
