Report by LBCC’s Chris Ruiz<\/span><\/p>\n

The Long Beach City College women\u2019s basketball team suffered a 73-40 non-conference loss to visiting Moorpark College on Tuesday night at the Hall of Champions Gym.<\/o:p><\/p>\n

LBCC began the game with just five players and was missing leading scorer and rebounder Rayven Sellers because of an injury suffered at last weekend\u2019s Imperial Valley tournament.<\/o:p><\/p>\n

Despite its lack of numbers, the Vikings played tough during the opening 20 minutes. Moorpark held its biggest lead of the first half at 31-14 with 7:18 to go before Long Beach put together an 8-0 scoring run to get them within nine points (31-22) with 3:39 left in the half.<\/o:p><\/p>\n

But Moorpark closed the half with a 9-0 run of its own to take a 40-22 advantage into the locker room at half time.<\/o:p><\/p>\n

The second half was all Moorpark as fatigue finally set in on the outnumbered Vikings. The Raiders shot 61 percent from the field (14 of 23) and outscored LBCC 33-18 over the final half.<\/o:p><\/p>\n

Freshman guard Vanessa Sullivan scored a team-high 15 points for Long Beach (3-10). Freshman forward Maria Loera led the Vikings with 10 rebounds to go with nine points and freshman guard Jocelyn Arce dished out nine assists and scored seven points.<\/o:p><\/p>\n

 Center Reyneisha Mays led Moorpark (7-8) with 18 points.<\/o:p><\/p>\n

 The Long Beach women return to action next Tuesday (Dec. 29) when the Vikings host East Los Angeles College in a 5:30 p.m. South Coast Conference interdivision game.<\/o:p><\/p>\n
