BAKERSFIELD, Calif. — Dominant performances by College of the Canyons forwards Hannah Green and Monica Friedl helped the Lady Cougars to their seventh straight win, as No. 10 regionally ranked Canyons put together a 77-61 victory over Bakersfield College on Saturday afternoon.

Green posted yet another impressive performance against the Renegades, tallying 24 points and 20 rebounds to go along with six steals and seven blocks.
