Leading scorer Josh Hearlihy ’12 kept the boys’ basketball team alive against the Chaminade Eagles on Wednesday. Hearlihy’s 21 points led Harvard-Westlake to a 64-57 home win.
With this win, the Wolverines improve their win streak to 12 games and move to 4-0 in the Mission League.
Chaminade kept it close, as the Wolverines’ sloppy defense failed to shut down the Eagles’ shooting guards.
“We lacked in defense tonight; we gave up too many shots,” guard Noor Fateh ’11 said. ”We finally picked up our defense at the end and got the win.”
On Friday, the Wolverines will face arch-rival Loyola, whom they swept last year in the two-game series.
