The Carbon Lady Dinos used a dominating second half effort to earn a 53-32 win over the San Juan Broncos Thursday night in the season opener at Carbon High School.

Holding a slim 17-13 at the break, the Lady Dinos outscored San Juan 36-18 over the final two quarters to record the comfortable victory.

Junior Jordan Bianco led the way with a game-high 15 points, nine of which came from the three-point line. Jodi Noyes added to the Carbon offense with 14 points, while MaKenna Blanc finished with nine.

“I feel like in the first we have we came out kind of sluggish and didn’t really move the ball well on offense,” said Jordan Bianco following the win. “In the second half we got on the fast break and forced some turnovers.”

As a team the Lady Dinos finished an efficient 16-18 from the foul line, compared to just 6-11 for San Juan. Carbon converted three more field goals throughout night, but outscored the Broncos 15-0 from the three-point line.

Thursday’s game was part of the Carbon Invite Tournament, welcoming a number of teams from around the state. The Lady Dinos will continue the busy weekend with two games on Friday; against South Summit at 3:00 p.m., and then Grand at 8:00.

The weekend tournament will come to a close for Carbon on Saturday against Manti at 3:00 p.m..
