Moorpark College Lady Raiders are “getting their head in the game” coming off of a big conference win against Santa Barbara City College.

They have now won two straight games and have improved their overall record of 9-10 with a conference record of 2-3.

Interim Athletic Director Vance Manakas was impressed with how the women played as of late, including this past game.

“I think the girls played very well at times,” said Manakas. “They executed and came together as a team.”

Moorpark was able to outscore Santa Barbara for three out of the four quarters of the game to keep their lead and never let Santa Barbara get close enough to get a run going.

Manakas also said that if the women’s team plays more like they did last night, then they can potentially make it to the playoffs. Manakas also said to look out for two certain players as of recent.

“Both Sydney Perry and Cydney Bolton have been playing great as of late,” said Manakas.

The women’s basketball team plays on the road next Wednesday against Cuesta College, and will be back home on Saturday, Jan 30, against Oxnard College.
