"Rebound! Rebound!" shouted Bakersfield College women's basketball Head Coach Paula Dahl during her team's game with College of the Canyons on Feb. 14.
And rebounding is just exactly what the team attempted to do although the Renegades lost to Canyons 79-76. The BC women's team had previously lost to Canyons 92-78 Jan. 20. The BC women's team closed its regular season with a loss to Glendale 80-68 on Feb. 17.
Nevertheless, the team has enjoyed a record of 24 wins to 7 losses, according to Dahl. The team drew the seventh seed in the Southern California Regional playoffs and will meet Antelope Valley there at 7 p.m. Feb. 23.
"Playoffs are what you look forward to throughout the season," Dahl said.
Sophomore Neha Joshi hopes that during the playoffs her team will repeat the level of "intensity" the team showed during the second half of the game with Glendale.
"We should do that again, " Joshi said. "From start to finish, for 40 minutes, that same intensity should be in the playoffs."
Joshi wants her team to avoid "falling apart" and to continue "playing as a team" during playoffs.
According to Dahl, the team also wants to avoid foul trouble, something that occurred in Jan. 20 game with Canyons.
For this season, player Amber Williams has a scoring average of 19.3 and LaShay Bagsby is close with her 18.4 average. Williams has 99 assists, and Taylor Abercrombie has 53.
