When--6:45 tonight

Ocean View (22-7)--Starters: Andrea Tuiolosega, 5-9, Sr., guard, 5 points; Jennifer Tuiolosega, 5-8, Jr., guard, 14.6 points; Anna Lembke, 5-1, So., center, 12 points, 7.6 rebounds; D.J. Douty, 5-5, Sr., guard, 6 points; Becky Fraser, 5-11, Sr., forward, 15.4 points, 8.5 rebounds.

Brea Olinda (26-3)--Starters: Marissa Bradley, 5-8, Jr., guard, 14 points, 3.8 assists; Jennifer Saari, 5-8, Jr., guard, 14.8 points, 6.2 assists; Janelle Ralph, 5-8, Sr., guard, 3 points; Rochelle Anthony, 5-10, Jr., forward, 11.9 points, 8.5 rebounds; Stephanie Wettlin, 5-11, Jr., forward, 9.9 points, 6.8 rebounds.

Keys to the game--Two starters, Saari and Anthony, are back as Brea Olinda goes for its eighth consecutive section title. Ocean View must overcome the Brea Olinda mystique, as well as the little surprises that inevitably accompany first-timers. Ocean View’s best chance lies with preventing the Ladycats from taking choice or open shots, and winning the inside game with Fraser and Lembke. Brea Olinda, which has been looking up to opponents all season, will try to force the tempo and make it a high-scoring game. The higher the score, the better the Ladycats’ chances.
