Conference Leaders Helping Shape This Week's State Women's Basketball Top 25
February 3, 2026
State Rankings/Region Coach Rankings
This week's California Community College Women's Basketball Coaches Association (CCCWBCA) State Top 25 saw 20 teams switch spots with the Orange Empire Conference as competitive on the rankings as their own league games behind #7 Cypress, #8 Orange Coast, #10 Irvine Valley and #12 Saddleback, the current OEC leader.
Mt. San Antonio is far and away proving to be the #1 team while Folsom Lake is holding on to the North's top spot for now at #2. Laney settles at #3 with a sparkling pre-conference performance. San Joaquin Delta moved up to #4 while MiraCosta is still wondering how an undefeated 23-0 record can't get the Spartans to higher than #5.
Moorpark fell a few spots to #6 while solid all season, and another consistent team Santa Rosa rounds out the elite top 10 at #9.
At #11, Fresno City made the biggest leap up seven slots and #13 Mt. San Jacinto is making noise from the Inland Empire Athletic Conference with a second win over #16 Copper Mountain.
Fifteen of the 25 are part of the South Region. Long Beach City is back on the rankings at #22 while Sequoias sneaks back in at #T25.
This week's theme is steals leaders across the state.
