Prep Basketball GIRLS : Hauser Gets 1000th Point as Alemany Defeats Notre Dame

Senior guard Ilene Hauser earned a place in the Alemany High basketball record book when she scored her 1000th point with seven minutes left in the second period of the Indian Maiden’s 65-23 rout over Notre Dame at home Wednesday night.

Hauser didn’t let the milestone get in her way, however, as the three-time all-CIF guard scored a game-high 17 points and made 10 assists.

Notre Dame was led by sophomore forward Kristen Borella, who had seven points and 12 rebounds.

The Knights, who fell to 0-5 in the 3-A San Fernando Valley League, had a tough time hitting from the field, averaging fewer than six points per quarter. Their difficulties were compounded by Alemany’s stifling defense.

Also scoring in double figures for the Indian Maidens were senior center Kathy Desautels, with 14 points, and sophomore guard Jenny Beubis, with 11. Alemany is now 5-0 in league games and 8-5 overall.
