San Diego Mesa took advantage of OCC's experimental phase and won in five games. Since, Orange Coast has made a few changes and become one of the top teams in the state. The Pirates pounded the point home Friday with a three-game sweep of San Diego Mesa in an Orange Empire Conference match Friday at OCC.

Orange Coast got the ball to the right player--sophomore Jennifer Ludwicki--but didn't get the expected result in a 63-61 loss Sunday to San Diego Mesa in the title game of the Coast Christmas Classic. Ludwicki, who has been OCC's leading scorer in all 14 games this season, turned the ball over with the Pirates down by a point with 13 seconds left. She then missed about a 12-footer to tie while well defended in the closing seconds.
