El Camino College split its first two matches in the opening day of the Citrus Tournament on Friday.
The Warriors opened the day with an 8-6 triumph over Pasadena thanks to three goals in the fourth quarter to turn a one-goal deficit into a two-goal victory. Ilene Guerrero led the way with six of the team's eight goals while Elizabeth Guerrero and Andrea Canchola each scored once. Sabrina Byrne and Elizabeth Guerrero both tallied two assists and Taylor Baird made 12 saves in net to give the Warriors the victory.
In the second match of the day, the Warriors comeback bid fell just short as they were edged by L.A. Valley, 7-6. The Warriors scored three times in the final period but the Monarchs lone goal in the fourth proved to be the difference as they held on for the win.
