Release date 02-13-2008 Cerritos Reliever Silences Softball Bats In SCC-Opening LossWhen one of the state's top pitchers, Jessica Navarro, had to leave the Cerritos College pitching circle with a leg injury after two innings, the Pasadena City College women's softball team figured it might fare better offensively against Falcons' reliever Korrin Soldan. Instead, Soldan was letter perfect as she retired all 15 Lancers she faced, sending PCC to a 7-0 loss in the teams' South Coast Conference opener at Brookside Park. Release date 02-12-2008 Softball Wins Twice At Green And Gold TournamentThe Pasadena City College women's softball team used key hitting from sophomore Jessica Torres and rode the pitching of freshman lefty Melissa O'Connor in winning two of its four games Feb. 9-10 at the Green and Gold Tournament in Irvine.

The 2008 badminton season begins later this month. Release date 02-11-2008 Baseball Slides To 0-7 With Doubleheader LossThe team's three main pitchers in the early going have earned run averages of 3.46, 3.60, and 3.77. The pitching staff as a whole has allowed only a .241 batting average to opponents. Yet despite the encouraging pitching numbers, the Pasadena City College baseball team can point to one major statistic that has contributed to the Lancers' 0-7 start to the 2008 season. The stat is .188 and that's the team's disappointing team batting average. Release date 02-10-2008 Women's Basketball Continues High Scoring Ways At East LAThe Pasadena City College women's basketball team found its niche this 2007-2008 season. The Lancers love to score, and for the third time in South Coast Conference North Division play, they eclipsed 96 points or more Friday night. The team also registered past the 80-point mark for the 15th time this season in a 96-71 win at East LA College. Release date 02-09-2008 Men's Basketball Blows Past East LA For 1st Division WinWhen the Pasadena City College men's basketball team entered halftime of its South Coast Conference North Division game Friday at East LA College, the Lancers were ahead 39-35.

Release date 02-08-2008 Brookside Park Opener Doesn't Go PCC Nine's WayOpening its 2008 home schedule Thursday, the Pasadena City College baseball team wasted a quality start by sophomore right-hander Eisen Castro in losing to LA Mission College, 8-3, in a game halted in the top of the ninth inning due to darkness. All PCC home games are played at the off-campus Jackie Robinson Memorial Field at Brookside Park.

Release date 02-05-2008 Rough Start For Baseball, 0-3 At San Diego Grossmont TournamentThe Pasadena City College baseball team opened the 2008 season with three losses at the Noel Mickelsen Grossmont Tournament Feb. 1-2.

Release date 02-01-2008 State's No. 5-ranked LA Trade Tech Drops Men's Hoops, 109-91It was the state's most potent offense in LA Trade Tech against the state's leading scorer in Pasadena City College guard Harold Cleveland.

But the '07-08 squad will go into the record books for its ability to score. For the second time in 12 days, the Lancers broke the school record for most points in a game and added most assists and most field goals made records for good measure in a 114-34 clinic at Los Angeles City College Wednesday night. Release date 01-30-2008 An Easter Basket: PCC Forward Faafiti 11-for-11 In Women's Hoops WinIt was quite a week for Pasadena City College freshman forward Easter Faafiti. On Wednesday, she pulled down her personal season-high of 15 rebounds to go with 13 points against the state's No. 1-ranked team Mt. San Antonio. On Friday night, Faafiti did something no Lancer had ever performed in a game. The hearing-impaired Faafiti set a school record by making all 11 of her field goal shots as part of her 23 points as PCC downed visiting El Camino College Compton Center, 89-73, in a South Coast Conference North Division game.

As PCC enters the 2008 season, he knows he can't control the health of his squad, but O'Meara feels he has his deepest team in his four seasons at the college. Release date 01-24-2008 Deal Or No Deal For PCC Women's BasketballIt wasn't enough that the Pasadena City College women's basketball team had to face state top-ranked Mt. San Antonio College Wednesday night. The Lancers also had to endure playing against one of their former players in transfer center Carmen Deal. Release date 01-23-2008 Last-Second Basket Not Enough For Men's BasketballThe Pasadena City College men's basketball team made the most of the final 0.6 second of its South Coast Conference North Division game at Mt. San Antonio Wednesday night. Forward Chris Pickens bombed an inbounds pass and somehow teammate Harold Cleveland was able to fire off a bank shot that went in as the buzzer sounded. Celebration time? Not for the unlucky Lancers as Cleveland had to settle for a 2-point basket as he was inside the 3-point circle in a heartbreaking 71-70 loss. Release date 01-23-2008 Rivalry Recap: PCC Women's Basketball v. Mt. San AntonioIn community college sports, there are few rivalries that match the intensity of women's basketball games between Pasadena City and Mt. San Antonio Colleges. The PCC v. Mt.

The teams get together for the first time in 2008 Wednesday, Jan. 23 in a 5:30 p.m. tip-off at Mt. San Antonio College. Release date 01-22-2008 Women's Hoops Set School Record For Most Points in 110-42 Triumph Over East LAThe way the Pasadena City College women's basketball team moved the ball around offensively during the game's first 20 minutes Friday night was a reminder of the team's unlimited potential.

The state's No. 4-ranked Lancers were hurting from a 79-70 upset loss to Cerritos Wednesday and decided to take out their frustrations on the Vikings in the South Coast Conference crossover game. Release date 01-11-2008 Unranked Cerritos Upsets 4th-Ranked Women's BasketballOne drawback to being a perennial power is that a team can become a target for opponents. Cerritos College, not among the state's top 20 poll this week, came into Wednesday night's game looking to knock a 4th-rated Pasadena City College team off its perch. The Falcons did just that by upsetting the Lancers, 79-70, in a South Coast Conference crossover game at PCC's Hutto-Patterson Gymnasium. Release date 01-09-2008 Cleveland Scores 25 In 2nd Half, Cerritos Still Downs PCC, 100-80He's the second leading scorer in the state at 25.1 points a game.

PCC's weakness, however, would turn into the team's strength over the final 10 minutes.

Release date 12-09-2007 Johnson's Monster 2nd Half Leads Women's Hoops To Eighth Straight VictoryIn past seasons, it was pretty clear who were the stars of the Pasadena City College women's basketball team.

On any given night, pick your key player because the next game it will be somebody different. Release date 12-08-2007 Another Close Loss For PCC Men's BasketballFor the third time in 10 games this season, the Pasadena City College men's basketball team accepted defeat by a margin of four points or fewer.
