KNIGHTS TO PLAY FIRST HOME GAME VS. PORTERVILLE AT COLBERT CLASSIC

The San Diego City College women's basketball team will play its first home game of the new season on Friday, November 16 at 6 p.m. against Porterville in the opening round of the 2018 Knights' Colbert Classic. 

The Knights are off to their best start since the program was reinstated in 2006 after winning two-of-three games at the season-opening Pasadena tournament last weekend.

City started that tournament with a 61-54 victory over Citrus and then blew out Desert, 66-45. The Knights fell to Pasadena, 64-39, but it was still a very successful weekend for them. 

Breeana Gafare averaged 21.3 points over the three games and scored a career-high 30 points to go with 10 rebounds in the win over Desert on Saturday. As a result, she was named to the all-tournament team. 

The Knights, led by Head Coach Andrea Aguilar-Montalban, are coming off an undefeated (8-0) PCAC South season which earned them a second consecutive conference championship. The PCAC Sports Information Directors recently picked the Knights to win a third straight conference title. 

The Colbert Classic will begin on Friday with Cerritos and MiraCosta tipping off the tournament at noon. The 8-team tournament will also feature Cuesta vs. Southwestern at 2 p.m. and Los Angeles Harbor vs. Imperial Valley at 4 p.m.

The tournament will conclude with the championship game on Sunday at 2 p.m.

Admission will be $10 for adults, $8 for seniors, students with I.D., and children under 12. Kids aged 5 and under will be admitted for free.
