After dominating Compton College, the women’s badminton team approached their matches against East L.A. and Pasadena City last week.

East L.A., 16-5, defeated the Warriors at home on Wednesday. Pasadena City College defeated the Warriors, 9-2, on Friday.

“They’re taking what they need, learning from it and having a good time doing it,” Jaymie Baquero, coach, said.“They want to be here and get better. They like hanging out with each other and they really truly are having fun.”

No. 1 ranked player for EC, Corinne Belandres, won both her singles matches and one doubles match.

“It shows every time that we’re improving,” Belandres said.

In the second doubles match, Belandres and second ranked, Kumiko Noguchi, took the top two players from East L.A. to a third game in a best-of-three series but lost amid an out call on a play.

“A lot of our girls were taking their opponents to three games and that really shows their desire to win,” Belandres, said.

EC’s record is now 2-4 overall, placing them at third in the conference.

“Each day, practice, and match we play, this team gets better,” Baquero said. “The fact that we’ve won these many games, I couldn’t ask for more.”
