The Golden Eagles’ women’s basketball team will have the home-field advantage Wednesday night, an advantage which they hope will prove helpful if they ever intend to beat Fresno City College for the first time ever. A win over the Rams could provide the Eagles with the momentum they would need to overtake the conference-leading Fresno City squad.

West Hills Lemoore took another step in the right direction Saturday night in Lemoore when it easily beat visiting Porterville 88-45. The win improved the Golden Eagles CVC mark to 5-2, good enough for second place in the conference. The 7-0 Rams are currently two games ahead of both West Hills Lemoore and College of the Sequoias.
