EL CAMINO, Calif. (Oct. 31, 2025) (Interstat) — The El Camino Warriors erased a large first-half deficit to defeat the Santa Barbara Vaqueros 68-65 in a California men’s junior college basketball game Friday. Santa Barbara led 65-60 entering the final period but was shut out in the fourth quarter, allowing El Camino to complete the comeback. The Warriors improved to 1-0 on the season while the Vaqueros fell to 0-1. The result defied a national projection that heavily favored Santa Barbara. El Camino’s Justin Cricri and Rocco Gaffoglio were key performers in the victory.
