By Jesse Muñoz/COC Sports Information Director
Natalie Satamian finished with 19 points and LuLu Salloom pulled down 15 rebounds as College of the Canyons cruised to a 70-57 victory over Bakersfield College at the Cougar Cage on Wednesday.
The win got Canyons (14-9, 8-2) back on track after suffering an overtime loss in its last outing. The Lady Cougars continue to be in contention for the conference's top spot, but currently sit a game behind L.A. Valley College.
Satamian was 7-of-11 from the floor and 3-of-5 from downtown to lead COC. Salloom was next with 11 points and 15 rebounds, good for a fourth straight double-double. Salloom has tallied 10 or more rebounds in all but one game this season.
Canyons opened up a 30-17 lead heading into halftime against a Bakersfield (7-17, 2-8) that shot just 14.3 percent in the second quarter.
The Renegades started to click late in the second half, but by then COC was already comfortably in control. Elise Enriquez led Bakersfield with 28 points. No other Renegade reached double digits.
