Women's Hoops Fighting Injuries, Tough Conference Stretch

The Pasadena City College women's basketball team have seven players left on its 2025-26 roster and all seven have fought through injuries, illnesses to gut it out during South Coast Conference North Division play. 

The Lancers (11-12 overall) are still winless in divisional games, now at 0-3 after a 58-46 loss at East Los Angeles on Friday night. Kamora Fletcher, who missed this previous contest due to illness, came back to score 26 points and grab 10 rebounds off the bench v. the Huskies.

Monica Menzies added 14 points and three steals while Celine Bolton-Ford almost had a double-double in rebounds and blocks (six points, 12 boards and a season-high nine stuffs). Paris Ngeam didn't score but grabbed 12 rebounds, dished four assists and made three steals.

PCC trailed 29-17 by halftime, cut it briefly to five, but went into a big hole, down 46-26 after three quarters. The Lancers made a push in the fourth quarter, outscoring ELAC, 20-12, but it was not enough. East LA was paced by Mariah Mosley, who was 4-for-4 on 3-point baskets and finished with 18 points.

The Lancers were coming off a rough 88-32 loss against state #1 Mt. San Antonio as they were limited to a season low in points. The sophomore Bolton-Ford scored 18 points plus nine rebounds before leaving with an injury two minutes into the fourth quarter. 

Earlier in 2025, PCC lost All-SCC First Team guard Lyndsey Valverde to a season-ending injury. 

Pasadena next hosts Rio Hondo on Wednesday, Feb. 4 in a 7 p.m. division game at Hutto-Patterson Gymnasium.
