three points with 2 seconds left, Cameron hurriedly took the inbounds pass up- court and attempted about an 8-footer that grazed the front iron before harmlessly falling to the floor. "I was hoping to get fouled and tie the game," Cameron said. Mercy (23-5), which will play top-seeded Westwood for the NSCIF Division VI final at 11 a.m. Saturday at Chico State, used the top scorer and rebounder in the section, Jessica Curl to build a 9-2 first-quarter ad - vantage. In the second pe- riod, the 6-foot-2 Curl, who finished with 19 points and 22 rebounds, went to the bench with her second foul, allowing PAA to more than double up the Warriors down the stretch and trim the halftime deficit to 15-10. "Sometimes you have to be lucky," said Mercy coach Steve Shellabarger. He added that the Cougars played well on defense, which added to the War - riors' shooting and turnover woes on the night. "We will have to play at a much higher level on Satur - day," he said. Curl came back in the third quarter to knock down a cou- ple baskets and push Mercy ahead 26-15 after three, cour- tesy in part to a 11-4 run to close the period. It wasn't all bad for PAA, however, as 6-1 senior center Margo Moore delivered her 1,000th career point in her prep career in the third quarter. Moore played three years at Redding Ad - ventist before transferring to PAA this year. The leader next year will undoubtedly be Cameron, as the Cougars try and use their speed and athleticism in the backcourt to repeat as Pioneer Valley League champions and maybe go deeper in the playoffs. "At the beginning of the year I did not think we were going to make it to the semifinals," she said. "Even though we lost (tonight) it was super good and I'm ex - cited about next year." Mercy From Page 1 Going into their game against Shasta, which beat the Spartans three times during the regular season, Brand said the mindset was that it's difficult to beat a team four times in a row. Of course, the girls would have to go out and prove that. At halftime, Red Bluff led 24-11. It was just where it wanted to be at the break, Brandt said. But Shasta star Emmi Petersen, who didn't play in the first half, sparked a second-half come - back for the Wolves. With the teams knotted at 36 points apiece in the fourth quarter, Red Bluff's Allison Winning drilled a baseline jumper down the stretch. After the Wolves answered to tie the game at 38, the Spartans' Abby Brown sank two free throws with about 26 seconds left in the game to give Red Bluff a lead it wouldn't give up. The Spartans average about 50-percent shooting from the free-throw line as a team. On Tuesday, they shot 71 percent from the stripe. Red Bluff, finally, was the team that caught a break, Brandt said. Now, she added, the Spartans have nothing to lose. Enterprise (25-2), which calhisports.com has ranked 20th overall in the state, this season beat Red Bluff twice and finished with an unde - feated 8-0 Sac River League record. The Hornets are ex- pected to win, Brandt told her team Wednesday, and they probably expect to win, too. The Spartans on Friday, with their newly found and earned confidence, will at - tempt to defy expectations once again. Spartans From Page 1 College BasketBall Memphis at Cincinnati: 4 p.m., ESPN.

By menelaos Hadjicostis The Associated Press larNaCa, CyPrus » On a night that gave a small con- tingent of Ukrainian fans an opportunity to wave their flags and unite amid a polit- ical crisis back home, their national soccer team eased past the United States 2-0 Wednesday in an exhibition game shifted from Kharkiv to a Mediterranean island nation 600 miles to the south. A n d r i y Ya r m o l e n ko scored in the 12th minute and Marko Devic in the 68th as Ukraine exposed the shaky American cen - tral defense of Oguchi On- yewu and Anthony Brooks. Ukraine's players linked arms on shoulders dur- ing their national anthem of their nation, which has been disrupted by political protests followed by Rus - sia's military intervention. Players in both starting lineups bowed their heads as they stood on the field before the game for a mo- ment of silence for the vic- tims of violence in Ukraine. A banner in the stands read "Ukraine is Undivided!" on the top and "One Country — One Team!" on the bot - tom. The crowd of 1,573 at Pa- padopoulos Stadium, which has a capacity of about 10,000, was so small that players could be heard talk - ing with each other during the game. Ukrainian fans sang their nation's anthem in the final moments. Ukraine beats U.S. meN's soCCer By The Associated Press BostoN » Klay Thompson and David Lee scored 18 points each and the Golden State Warriors went a sea - son-high 14 games over .500 with a 108-88 romp over the Boston Celtics on Wednes- day night.

Former Celtic Jordan Crawford had 15 points and Stephen Curry added 14 for the Warriors (38-24), who won for the seventh time in nine games.
