A basket by Lalazarian gave Tustin a 43-42 lead with 2:53 left in the third quarter and it never trailed again. El Dorado crept to within five points three times in the fourth quarter, but each time Tustin was able to stop the threats with baskets and free throws by Gottlieb, Griffin and Lalazarian.

Dustin Miller finished with 16 points and Justin Kasper had 15 for El Dorado, which ended at 19-9.
