HUNTINGTON BEACH — El Toro guard Lenzy Turner grabbed a long rebound, led the fast break and made two passes in the frontcourt offense before Mia Cubacub quickly returned the ball to her with the CIF-SS Division 3A girls basketball final tied late in the fourth quarter.

“I wasn’t nervous,” Turner said later.

The sophomore’s 3-point attempt from the wing served as the confirmation as it splashed through the net for the go-ahead basket with 1:41 left.

El Toro wasn’t done. About 30 seconds later, Bridget Boyd sank a 3-pointer from the opposite wing as the Chargers united in the final two minutes to beat Cantwell-Sacred Heart of Mary 52-48 at Edison High for their first section title in girls basketball.

El Toro’s clutch performance came from an experienced and determined squad featuring seniors Boyd, point guard Mariana Mina and post Camryn Bradshaw. The previous three seasons, the Chargers (18-11) lost in the first round of the playoffs.

“When they walked in the door (as a freshman class), there was something special about that group,” eighth-year El Toro coach Pat Nunez said of the trio. “Every year, we got better and better. They just did amazing.”

Turner struggled with her shot at times but said she felt confident before sinking her 3-pointer with the score knotted at 46-46.

“I wasn’t really hitting shots for real,” she said, “but I knew eventually it was going to fall.”

Boyd sizzled from the floor. She made 5 of 6 field goals, including 4 of 5 from beyond the arc, en route to a team-high 14 points. “We knew it was going to be a competitive game and I just had to keep shooting,” said Boyd, who helped El Toro finish 7 of 18 from beyond the arc.

Bradshaw scored four of her 11 points in the fourth quarter and had 13 rebounds. Mina also scored 11 points and added five assists. Turner collected four steals for the Sea View League runner-up.

“The difference this year was definitely our maturity level,” said Bradshaw, whose mother and former University coach Nicole Bradshaw assisted Nunez. “The three seniors … we’ve played together since freshman year, so having such a core group, we knew this was the year we could take it all the way.”

Guard Leilani Dominguez scored 15 points, including three 3-pointers, and post Marina Leiva added 11 points to lead Cantwell-Sacred Heart (22-8). The Cardinals overcame a 10-point deficit early in the second quarter to take a 46-44 lead on a three-point play by Leilannie Chavez with 2:46 left in the fourth.
