VC Women’s basketball Regular season finale

On Friday February 23rd, The VC Pirates faced Hancock Bulldogs in a fight to stay in the playoff running. That was Sophomore night honoring Tiernan Phillips , Alexis Howery , and Dani Henley . In a pre-game interview with VC Sophomore Alexis Howery about how she feels coming into this match up she expressed, “the last time we played them -Hancock- we had the best energy.” The Pirates had faith that they would be able to bring it home to make it in the playoffs.

VC had a steady start into the game, they had played the Bulldogs prior and came out victorious, 67-44. The first quarter ended with the Pirates trailing by 3 points. The second quarter was a back and forth match between teams both wanting the win, ending with a tie 22-22 going into the half. The game was close in score but VC couldn’t hold out and fell short to Hancock with a 42-56 final game score. VC sophomore Tiernan Phillips was lead scorer in the game with 12pts.

The VC Pirates are headed to Moorpark College on Saturday night, March 9, 2024 to take on the Raiders at 7pm in hopes of keeping their season alive. Click here for schedule and ticket information. See you there!
