WBB Grabs Two Wins at Comet Crossover

The MSJC women's basketball team won two games over the weekend at the Comet Crossover hosted by Palomar. Friday the Eagles defeated East LA and Saturday MSJC picked up a win over Alan Hancock.

Friday the Eagle offense got off to a bit of a slow start as they fell behind 14-12 after the opening period. MSJC responded in the second to take a narrow four-point lead by halftime outscoring the Huskies 21-15. The Eagles built the lead to 11 by the end of the third quarter and held on for a 65-59 win. Karsen Marshall had a huge game as she scored 29 points, grabbed 8 rebounds, and had 9 steals. Trinity Skinner just missed a double double as she scored 12 and pulled in 8 rebounds. Kiara Williams also reached double figures in scoring with 10, she added 4 assists and 3 steals.

Saturday MSJC came out fast and never looked back as they led after ten minutes 24-3 on their way to an 86-31 win over Hancock. Karsen Marshall again was outstanding on both ends of the court as she scored 27 points along with 10 rebounds and 2 blocked shots. Williams added 17 points, 3 assists, and 6 steals while Keslyn Henson came off the bench to add 11 points. Kohen Marshall was steady as well scoring 8 points, hauling in 7 rebounds, and dishing out 3 assists.

The Eagles, 4-1 on the season, now enter a very grueling three-game stretch where they will take on 3C2A pre-season state #1 ranked Mt. SAC, #3 ranked Orange Coast, and #6 ranked Palomar. The trio of games starts on the road on Tuesday at Mt. SAC.  That game will tip-off at 6 pm. Thursday MSJC will host Orange Coast at 5 pm and next Wednesday November 26^th the Eagles host Palomar at 3 pm.
