Last season the women’s basketball team earned a berth to the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference postseason tournament and the second highest three-point shooting percentage in Division III, but this year has the makings of even greater success.
Emily Carrillo not only succeeds on the basketball court but off as well. Juggling a teaching credential program, a job at 24 Hour Fitness, and leading her team – she does everything to her fullest potential.
Youth and size converged in a heartbreaking 52-45 loss for the women's basketball against Occidental in a SCIAC tournament semifinal at Occidental last Friday.
To earn a postseason berth, the women’s basketball team needed all four quarters plus overtime to defeat Redlands, 78-77, on a game winning layup by senior forward Emily Carrillo.
In a game that saw Emily Carrillo reach a milestone, the Leopards were not able to hold off Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Saturday at Ducey Gymnasium, falling 71-66.
In a game that was close throughout, with neither team gaining an advantage of more than five points, the Leopards earned a 58-55 win Saturday against Cal Lutheran, a team they previously lost to by 25.
