LONG BEACH, Calif. – No. 1 seed El Camino College claimed the outright South Coast Conference title on Tuesday night with a 3-1 (22-25, 25-22, 25-21, 25-23) victory over No. 2 seed Long Beach at the Hall of Champions Gym at Long Beach City College.

For the second time this year, the Warriors defeated the Vikings on enemy territory and did so in four sets once again.

Mikayla Clark led the Warriors offense with 18 kills and added 14 digs while Ginia Goods was the only other Warriors player with double-digit kills, posting 12 on the night. Caitlin Donatucci had 42 assists and eight digs with one block and Kelly Donatucci recorded her third 30-plus dig performance of the season, finishing the night with 31.

The SCC title is the Warriors' 10th straight conference crown and third straight under Liz Hazell. It is the team's first solo title since 2016 and first outright title since 2015 before the conference was split into two divisions.

The Warriors will now await to see who they will draw in the upcoming CCCAA Southern California Regional Playoffs beginning on Tuesday.
