The big question for Sherman Oaks Notre Dame was whether its upset victory over Studio City Harvard-Westlake last week would lead to a letdown in its next Mission League basketball game. The answer was an emphatic no on Wednesday night.

The Knights (16-3, 3-0) stayed on a path toward winning the league championship and earning a Southern Section Open Division playoff berth with a 78-71 victory over Loyola (18-3, 2-1) on Wednesday night. They made 11 threes in the first half and finished with 15 threes.

The duo of Dusty Stromer and Ben Shtolzberg supplied the offensive firepower with 26 and 25 points, respectively. Parker Jones scored 26 points for Loyola.
