GCC Women's Basketball wins 13th straight game, 71-61 over Pasadena Saturday Jan. 4
In a battle of crosstown rivals and two of the top ranked steams in the state and Southern California, the GCC Women's Basketball team combined a fast start with a solid finish to beat visiting Pasadena City College 71-61 Saturday Jan. 4 in the Verdugo Gym. Glendale is ranked No. 7 in the state and 4th in Southern California while Pasadena is 13th in state and seventh in Southern California.
The Lady Vaqs, now 13-1 after its 13th straight win, led 24-13 after the first quarter and 38-32 at the half thanks to the hot shooting of sophomore guard Zoe Rouse who hit six of 10 three pointers on her way to a 20 point first half.
