Poor Shooting Night Spells End of Warriors Season

TORRANCE, Calif. – No. 8 seed El Camino College had one of its worst shooting nights of the season and it came at the wrong time in a 71-55 loss to No. 9 Glendale in the CCCAA Southern California Regional Playoffs Friday night at the ECC North Gym.

The Warriors (23-7) shot just 27.8 percent from the field on Friday night and hit just 3-of-18 shots from beyond the arc.
