LA VERNE, CA - Maya Sanborn recorded her first career double-double as the University of La Verne women's basketball team defeated the Crown College Polars 47-43 on Tuesday afternoon in The Tents. 
 
Sanborn racked up 10 points and recorded 12 rebounds while Alyssa Smith added nine points and 10 rebounds. Lailah Leonard-Roberts, Jasmine Prajitno and Samantha Miller all chipped in eight points.
 
After closing the first quarter with a two-point lead, the Leopards found their rhythm and took control of the remainder of the contest, building a game-high 14-point advantage in the fourth quarter. Despite a late push from Crown, La Verne showed resilience while battling injuries and suiting up just eight active players, coming out on top.
 
With the win, the Leopards improve their overall record to 4–5. They will be back in action on January 7 at 7 PM in Thousand Oaks, where they will take on the Cal Lutheran Regals as SCIAC play continues.
