Seguin added 28 more points in the third quarter to extend the lead to 83-17 heading into the final frame. Miles contributed seven points in the period and finished with 14 for the game.
In the fourth quarter, sophomore Noah King connected on a three-pointer to push the Matadors over the century mark. King finished with 14 points, including three from beyond the arc.
Freshman Nathan Walter added 12 points for the Mats, junior Jio Parra poured in eight, and senior Abron Acuna scored six in his final home game. The Matadors are now 7-8 in District 27-5A.
