After Taft's Alizah Lara missed a layup with five seconds left that would have given the Cougars (5-1) back the lead, Jasmine Martinez added a pair of free throws to seal the 58-55 victory for the Renegades (4-2)
Sydni Morris had 17 points and 18 rebounds, and Leslie Medina recorded 12 points for BC, which trailed by as many as 10 points in the first half. Harris finished with 11 points.
