With the second half under way, the Clippers maintained their level of play against the Eagles.  Driving down the lane were Shelley Monahan and Shari Cordero to keep the lead for the Clippers.  As the Clippers controlled the ball for the second half the Eagles attempted to push back and cut their deficit down to size.  Tonight the Clippers were unstoppable and they sailed right into their first victory of the season; 68-42.
