Women’s Softball Has Tough Time at Orange Coast

February 3—Orange Coast

Game one saw Prescilla Garcia (right) pitching a strong 5 1/3 innings in relief of Michelle Getmen, to hold the Pirates to four runs.  The Condors were only able to muster three of their own, taking a 4-3 defeat.  “It was a game we should have won, but couldn’t get adjusted to their off-speed pitcher” remarked Head Coach Paul Garziano. 

Prescilla Garcia was 2 for 2, with 2 RBI’s, and is now batting .563 on the season, with 8 RBI’s.

Game two was certainly an anomaly, with the final score 13-1, in favor of Orange Coast.  The Lady Condors made nine errors, and couldn’t get anything going offensively.  Michelle Getman pitched 2 and 1/3 innings, giving up 6 hits, but only 1 earned run.  Jessica Shaw came in and allowed only 2 earned runs in nearly 2 innings, but the Condor defense struggled to make plays.

Coach Garziano said “It’s impossible to win any game with nine errors…We will learn and go on to the next game.  This is a good group, and will certainly improve and perform well (going forward).”

This double-header loss puts their record at 2-3-1 on the season.  The Lady Condors travel to Mission College on February 9^th, at 2:30 pm.

The Lady Condors led by 20 points at one point, only to see their lead evaporate.  The Bulldogs made it a close game at the end, with pressure on defense, and great perimeter shooting.  The Condors prevailed, however to move their record to 13-7, and 4-3 in the WSC (4^th place).

__________________________________________________________________________________________

The Oxnard Men had quite the opposite experience.  They came out sluggish to start-- only leading 35-32.  Bryce Showalter came off the bench to lead the scoring at halftime, with nine points (. 

Ryan McLucas got some great looks in the second half, with four- three pointers (six in the game).  He finished with 20 points, eight rebounds, and seven assists.  “Big Game” James Ennis had 16, and Craig Lee had 12.  The Condors took control in the second half, and won convincingly 77-61.

This puts the men’s record at 11-11, and 4-3 in conference, half a game behind Pierce for third.  Both the men and women go on the road to face Cuesta this Saturday, starting at 5 pm.

Women's Softball Starts Strong:

The Lady Condor Softball squad kicked-off their 2010 campaign with wins over San Diego Mesa (6-2) and Fullerton (3-0).  They were leading Chaffey College when the game was called due to time constraints.  One loss to Citrus College (0-8), put the Condor Softball record at 2-1-1 on the new season.
