EL CAJON, Calif. (Interstat) — The San Diego City Knights visit the Cuyamaca Coyotes in a California community college women’s basketball game Friday night, with the Knights looking to solidify a winning season and the Coyotes aiming to build on a rare recent victory.

San Diego City (14-11) enters the matchup with a clear edge in the standings and recent history, having defeated Cuyamaca (4-14) 79-46 just over three weeks ago on Jan. 28. The Knights, however, are looking to rebound from a lopsided 81-49 home loss to MiraCosta in their last outing on Feb. 13.

The Knights are led by standout Aamori Daniels, who is coming off an 18-point, six-rebound performance in that defeat. Daniels has been a consistent force, recording a triple-double with 11 points, 11 rebounds and five assists in the January win over Cuyamaca, and posting a 20-point, 12-rebound double-double in a win at Southwestern on Feb. 4.

Cuyamaca snapped a four-game skid with a narrow 55-53 home win over Imperial Valley on Feb. 13. The Coyotes will rely on forward Yasmine Zufri, who dominated in that victory with a double-double of 12 points and 13 rebounds. Zufri struggled offensively in the previous meeting with San Diego City, scoring just six points, but she has shown high-volume rebounding ability in recent contests.

Despite Cuyamaca’s challenging season, a Interstat game simulator projects a highly unusual 100-100 tie, suggesting the potential for a high-scoring affair. The Knights’ defense, which allowed 81 points in their last game, will be tested against a Coyotes team that scored a season-high 77 points in a close loss to Southwestern on Feb. 11.

San Diego City holds a significant record advantage and won the prior meeting decisively. Cuyamaca will need a major performance from Zufri and to capitalize on any Knights’ inconsistency to secure an upset on their home court.

Tip-off is scheduled for Friday, Feb. 20, 2026.
