PCC Badminton Coach Jen Ho Reaches 100-Win Mark

With Wednesday's 21-0 win at East Los Angeles College, Pasadena City College women's badminton head coach Jennifer Ho collected her milestone 100th Lancers victory. The 2-time state champion coach has a remarkable .870 winning percentage in currently her 10th season directing the program.

The Lancers are 9-2 overall this season and have clinched PCC's eighth South Coast Conference championship under Ho's watch. Her career record is 100-15 and her conference mark is an amazing 82-2 for an astounding .976 win rate.

Ho's teams won back-to-back state team crowns in 2017 and 2018. She has coached the Lancers to reach six 3C2A championship finals. 

Against ELAC, Janet Diec, Karylle Peralta, Yolanda Huang, Jhaira Guevarra, Lexi Xing, and Yuki Ding won two singles matches each. Anh Tran and Peralta and the duo of Beatris Tzou and Huang recorded two doubles victories a piece while the pair of Xing-Ding won the lone #3 doubles match.

On April 1, the Lancers improved against one of the state's best teams before losing to NorCal foe De Anza, 14-7. Diec scored an exciting #2 singles win over Jenny Thai, 23-21, 13-21, 21-18, and Huang won her two #6 singles contests, including a comeback, 11-21, 21-17, 21-19 trimph over De Anza's #5 Kasey Walker for the team's highlights. 

If PCC defeats Compton the conference finale on April 23, it will complete the eighth undefeated South Coast title run. Ho's Lancers have a current 31-match win streak in conference play dating back to 2022.
