The state-ranked No. 20 Long Beach City College women's basketball team was crowned the South Coast Conference Champions tonight after a 68-59 victory over LA Harbor College. This is the Vikings' seventh conference title and first since 2017.

With the eleventh-consecutive win, the Vikings hold on to a 19-8 overall record, and remain undefeated with a 9-0 record in the South Coast Conference South Division.

The Vikings fought hard for their conference title as the two teams were tied 17-17 after the first quarter. After halftime, the Vikings were down 34-28, but then at the end of the third quarter, freshman wing Donavion Huskey hit the buzzer beater to tie the game 50-50. The Vikings only allowed the Seahawks to nine points in the final quarter and finished the game with the 68-59 win.

Huskey led the team with 12 points and 18 rebounds and was so close to the triple-double with seven assists. Freshman point Ivori Scott also had the double-double of 12 points and 11 rebounds.

The Vikings will be back in action for their final game of regular season on Friday, Feb. 21 against El Camino College at 5 p.m. in the Hall of Champions.
