With the women’s basketball season winding down, the Warriors needed a strong finish to make some noise in the playoffs.
On Friday, El Camino got one step closer with a 71-35 rout of L.A Harbor College.
“We wanted to come out and play solid on the defensive end, play together on the offensive end and take care of business,” coach Steve Shaw said. “Our defense in the second quarter is exactly how we want to play.”
The Warriors’ tenacious defense held L.A Harbor to four points.
Freshman guard Meghan Peneueta continued her strong season play with 22 points while adding nine rebounds and five steals. Freshman forward Kourtney Noa added 15 points while collecting 16 rebounds.
El Camino improves to 13-12 on the season and 4-2 in the South Coast Conference.
The Warriors are back in action when they travel to Long Beach City College Feb. 12. Tip off is at 5 p.m.
