OCC looking for second straight outright OEC title
The Orange Coast College women’s basketball team can claim its second straight outright Orange Empire Conference championship with a win tonight at Saddleback College at 5:30.
The Pirates (27-3, 11-1 in conference) almost fell to second-place Saddleback College last month before pulling out a 77-74 victory in double overtime.
Early on OCC lost its chance of having back-to-back undefeated seasons in conference play when Fullerton beat the Pirates, 68-58. But OCC has won nine straight since, with seven of those being double-digit victories.
The Pirates, who last week clinched a share of the conference title, will have one more regular-season game after tonight. OCC will play host to Santa Ana Friday at 5:30 p.m. before the postseason begins.
