Claremont 64, Simi Valley 46-- Claremont succeeded in shutting down 6'-9" senior Gonzaga-signee Dustin Villepigue who finished with 10 points as the Wolfpack scored a 64-46 win over the Pioneers in a Southern Section Division I-A second-round gameat Simi Valley. Simi Valley (20-9) was stymied by the double coverage on Villepigue, and none of Simi's shooters was hitting and had trouble with Claremont's 2-3 zone. Claremont forward Micah Lombard dominated the opening minutes and scored 12 points during the initial burst. Only foul trouble prevented Lombard from scoring more than 16 points. But the Wolfpack had plenty of other scoring options, particularly guards Sean Terrell (19 points) and Kevyn White (12 points), two small, tremendously athletic seniors who were able to pull up from anywhere on the court and make jump shots in the first half.  Claremont took a 29-21 halftime lead, opened the margin to 12 midway through the third quarter and never lost the double-digit lead.  The Pioneers were led by Jered Weaver, who scored 16 points. Villepigue added 10 rebounds for Simi Valley.
