MC Women's basketball rolling into East LA Tournament & New Year
The Raiders are ready for a new tournament, and a new year.
The Moorpark College women's basketball team is riding a three-game winning streak heading into the East Los Angeles Okawa Classic Monday, Dec. 27, and will start the tournament ranked No. 7 in the recent CCCAA State poll.
Moorpark (8-2) had a 65-60 set back to Glendale on Dec. 11 before taking down Southwestern (72-58), Pasadena (94-54) and Antelope Valley (55-47).
Now, College of the Canyons on Monday, West LA (Tuesday) and tournament-host East LA (Wednesday) await the Raiders this week before the new year turns.
After the tournament, coach Kenny Plummer and company will start Western State Conference games Jan. 5 at Allan Hancock.
