COC women’s basketball preview: Pressures from the past
It's just a little odd. One game the College of the Canyons women's basketball team scores 107 points in a victory and two weeks later it scores 54 in a win. The patented fast-break offense hadn't scored under 60 points in a game and won since Jan. 20, 2010. Another oddity is the roster. Not one girl played basketball for a Santa Clarita Valley school.
