Nicholas Carter, a senior guard, made consecutive three-pointers in the final 90 seconds to rally top-seeded Rialto Eisenhower to a 79-73 victory over Los Angeles Loyola in the Southern Section Division II-A championship game at the Honda Center.

Loyola (24-6) had taken a 71-69 lead with 1:38 left on two free throws by Miles Cartwright. But Carter stunned the Cubs with back-to-back three-pointers, and Eisenhower (28-3) came away with the championship.

Senior guard Andrew Bock scored 27 of his 29 points in the second half and sophomore Bernard Ireland added 19 points for Eisenhower.

Cartwright had 32 points to lead Loyola. Ryan Oliver added 19 points for the Cubs.
