Pioneer women’s basketball come out on top

By Anna Schall

On Nov. 25, the women’s basketball team managed to beat the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) by one point in double overtime. The final score was 64-63. This bodes well for the team, as they are 4-2 for the season thus far.

The first game of the season took place on Nov. 15, when the Pioneers lost to the Oregon Institute of Technology 67-61. The following weekend saw the Pioneers win two games during the LC Bon Appetit Tip-Off Tournament. They beat St. Catherine University 79-69 on Nov. 18 and Corban University 70-69 on Nov. 19. On Nov. 21, the team won against Warner Pacific College 74-65, making it their third victory in a row.

This brief win-streak was broken Nov. 24 when the Pioneers lost 61-55 at Occidental College. But the most recent win against Caltech could indicate another upswing for the women’s basketball team.
