The winners of the Chintan group, St Joseph's Girls High school, Pashan ran over hosts Dastur Girls High School `B' 58-2 in the pre quarter-finals of the 4th Vasantrao Limaye Memorial under-13 Basketball tournament, at the Dastur court here on Monday.

The girls from Camp, Dastur were no match to the champions St Joseph, as they managed to pull one basket back in the third quarter of the match through Sakshi Bafna. Incidentally, that was the only basket they could score in the entire match.

"They are out to win and it is the way they play," said the St Joseph's coach Mathew Fernandes.

Ishwai Pungle led the charge for the girls from Pashan finding the basket with accuracy and perfection. The lanky girl, in this age group was good in rebounds and her height came in handy for her. "I go for the rebound and the height helps me," says Ishwai who was full of action during the 40 minutes of duel. The match began with both the coaches in full action instructing the players, but once the St Joseph's got into the rhythm, Fernandes was cool his heels while Dastur's coach Lalit Nahata was trying the give his best shot in telling his girls to play from outside the court.

In the first quarter the Pashan girls were well ahead 18-0 and in the next they added eight more points, with Dastur yet to open their account.

There was no mercy by the St Joseph's girls as they went about clinically, in their mission and went on piling on to the score. It was only in the third quarter Dastur managed to pull one basketball and St Joseph's ended the match at 58-2 to make their grade into the quarter-finals of the championship. Ishwai Pingle top scored with 29 points while Shriya Kane chipped in eight points to the team's tally.
