La Mirada, led by first-year coach and La Mirada graduate, Bryce Jones went on a 11-4 run to end the half, led by Webb and Jarrett Davis who took a key charge in the lane with 46.9 seconds left and then scored at the other end, sending the Mats into halftime trailing by only one point, 24-23.
It didnt take the Mats long into the first half to take their first lead of the game at 25-24 when Webb scored two of his game-high 25 points at 7:32. The two teams then traded baskets and the game was tied at 31 with 4:25 left in the third.
