HORNETS ON A ROLL

HORNETS ON A ROLL

The FC women's basketball team traveled up to College of the Canyons on Thursday and dismantled the Cougars 78-51.

Fullerton's win gives the team an 8-1 overall record, which the best start in program history since the 2014-15 season under Marcia Foster- the last team to make the playoffs. The Canyons loss bumps the team down to 2-6 overall.

The Hornets came out red-hot in this one outscoring the Cougars 27-6 in the first quarter. The game's momentum remained with FC in the second quarter as the team jumped ahead 45-21 with 2:47 left in the half. By the break Fullerton was up 51-23.

Running away with the game in the second half, the Hornets took their biggest lead in the fourth quarter (36 point) before cooling the jets. College of the Canyons did manage to out-score Fullerton in the fourth quarter 17-9, however FC's lead was too much to overcome. 

Four Hornets scored in double-digits in Xochitl Hood (21), Hailey Lakey (12), Kaylee Shimoda (12), and Jimena Solorio (11). Erin Choi helped out with 8 points, Amya Iannone had 7, Julianna Conklin scored 4 points, Katelyn Glumace put up 3.

Up Next: The Hornets will remain on the road next week when they take a bus ride up north to Skyline College (6:00 pm) on Friday, December 13th. On Saturday, December 14th FC takes on Hartnell College (5:00 pm).
