SAN JACINTO, Calif. (Interstat) — A pivotal California community college women’s basketball rematch is set for Friday when the Mount San Jacinto Eagles host the Victor Valley Rams.

The Eagles (21-6), boasting one of the state’s top records, will look to complete a regular-season sweep after edging the Rams 74-73 on Jan. 21. Victor Valley (17-8) seeks revenge and a resume-boosting road win to solidify its postseason standing.

Mount San Jacinto enters on a five-game winning streak, including a dominant 103-63 victory at San Bernardino Valley on Feb. 11. The Eagles’ offense has been prolific, scoring 97 points or more in three of their last five contests.

A key player to watch is Mount San Jacinto’s Kohen Marshall, who is coming off a 30-point, 10-rebound performance against San Bernardino Valley. Over her last four games, Marshall has averaged 23.5 points and 8.5 rebounds, providing consistent all-around production for the high-scoring Eagles.

Victor Valley aims to bounce back from a narrow 70-69 loss at Copper Mountain on Feb. 11, which snapped a two-game win streak. The Rams have shown resilience, with five of their eight losses this season decided by single digits, including the one-point heartbreaker to the Eagles last month.

In the first meeting, Mount San Jacinto’s defense managed to contain Victor Valley’s leading scorers down the stretch to secure the narrow victory. The Rams will need a more complete offensive performance to challenge the Eagles on their home court.

Historically, games between these Inland Empire Athletic Conference rivals are tightly contested. Friday’s matchup promises similar intensity with significant implications for conference tournament seeding.

Tip-off is scheduled for 5 p.m. at Mount San Jacinto College. The game will be a test of Victor Valley’s ability to slow a potent Eagles offense versus Mount San Jacinto’s capacity to defend home court against a motivated, experienced opponent.
