Winn picks up 200 at ELAC

Saddleback women's basketball coach Fentriss Winn recorded his 200^th career win with the Gauchos on Sunday with a 75-42 win over Los Angeles Harbor College at the East Los Angeles College Tournament.  The 12^th year coach is the all-time leader in wins in program history.

Saddleback darted out to 22-7 lead after the opening quarter in cruising to the win.  Breanna Lopez drained a 3-pointer with 3:22 remaining in the opening frame to give the Gauchos an 11-1 lead.  It was part of a dominating quarter in which Harbor made just two baskets from the field.

Saddleback did the same in the third quarter, outscoring the Seahawks 25-12 in leading 56-33 through three quarters.  Irma Ealy scored nine points in the quarter and finished with a team-high 16 points  for the game. 

Saddleback was sensational in the defensive end all night, holding Harbor to 28% shooting while outrebounding the Seahawks 57-46 for the game.  Angela Steele led the Gauchos with 13 rebounds while Ealy had 12 and Nikole Delarosa had nine.

Winn is in his 12^th season as the head coach at Saddleback and has won two Orange Empire Conference titles during his tenure.  His record now stands at 200-143 following the game against Los Angeles Harbor.

Saddleback finished in fourth place in the tournament and will play next against Riverside College when they open Orange Empire Conference play on January 8.  Tip time is scheduled for 7:00 PM.
