The Shoreline Community College Women's Basketball Team losing streak hits 7 games as the Lady Dolphins came out uninspired on Saturday in the SCC Gym against Whatcom Community College and dropped a 61-40 game to the Orcas.

SCC has played well in the losing streak, forcing the last two games into overtime and making big runs in the second half of most games to force OT or bring the game into striking distance, but today, there was no gas left in the tank for SCC and the Lady Dolphins could never make run at WCC.

Freshman forward Maria Ciraco led SCC with 8 points, as no Dolphin scored in double digits. Sophomore point guard, Jenny Voss, added 6 points and sophomore Gnanamani Hooyman grabbed 10 rebounds while freshman Caitlin Roussopulus added 8 rebounds.

The Lady Dolphins only shot 23.4% for the game, hitting only 15 of 64 shots and 1 for 13 from three point range, missing the last 12 three point attempts. Whatcom outscored SCC 25 to 9 on turnover points as Shoreline turned the ball over 21 times in the game, compared to 10 for Whatcom.

The Lady Dolphins never led in the game, and were down 27 to 18 at half and the Orcas pulled out to a 55-24 for their biggest lead at 21 points.

Shoreline is now 8-13 for the season, and 2-10 in the NWAACC Northern Region. Whatcom goes to 14-8 and 9-3.

SCC plays at Edmonds Community College on Wednesday at 5:00 PM.
