NEW RANKINGS — Women's Basketball No. 9 in Latest CCCSIA Poll

By Jesse Muñoz/COC Sports Information Director

College of the Canyons remained among the top teams in the state in this week's California Community College Sports Information Association (CCCSIA) poll, checking in at No. 9 despite suffering a road loss over the weekend.

No. 1 San Joaquin Delta (20-1) maintained the top spot followed by No. 2 Sierra College (17-2), No. 3 Fresno City (17-2) and No. 4 Mt. San Antonio College (18-3). Moorpark (17-2) and Palomar College (17-2) tied for the No. 5 spot.

Irvine Valley was next at No. 7, with No. 8 East L.A., No. 9 Canyons (16-5) and No. 10 Santa Rosa (12-7) composing the rest of the top-10.

A full listing of the CCCSIA state poll is here. 

Canyons had posted a 1-1 record in Western State Conference (WSC), South Division play, including a double overtime road loss at conference leader No. 11 Bakersfield College, since the last poll was released on Jan. 26. That loss moved COC down a spot from its No. 8 position a week ago.

The Cougars bounced back in resounding fashion, however, with a convincing 82-59 road victory at L.A. Valley on Saturday. COC is currently second in the conference behind Bakersfield.

Canyons is slated to return to action Saturday, Feb. 5 vs. L.A. Valley in the Cougar Cage. That game is scheduled for a 5 p.m. tip.

All Canyons home games will be live streamed to fans on YouTube via the Cougars Sports Network. Continue to monitor COCathletics.com for livestream links or subscribe to the COC Athletics channel on YouTube.
