REACTION: "We pretty much controlled the game with our defense. It was one of those games you have to grind it out. Katie Lee, a senior off the bench, made the most of her playing time. She came in and played great defense, created some turnovers, really contributed to our big run." -- Tam coach .
TAM'S NEXT ACTION: Wednesday at noon vs. Whitney (Rocklin) for the consolation championship of the West Coast Jamboree at Miramonte High in Orinda.
