Falcons Soar Into Second Round After 26-2 Season and First-Round Bye
The women's basketball team is headed into the postseason with momentum, confidence, and one of the most impressive records in program history. After finishing the regular season at 26-2, the team has earned a first-round bye and will open playoff action in the second round this Saturday at 7 p.m. in the Falcon Gym. Their opponent is still to be determined — but one thing is certain: whoever steps onto the court will face a battle-tested squad.
Closing the Regular Season in Dominant Fashion
The team surged into the playoffs with three strong conference performances to cap off their remarkable regular season.
They opened the final stretch on the road at Diablo Valley College, delivering a statement win, 102-34. The offense was firing on all cylinders, and the defense set the tone early, overwhelming their opponent from start to finish.
Back home, they followed that performance with another commanding victory against American River College, cruising to a 99-43 final. Balanced scoring, relentless defensive pressure, and sharp execution showcased why this team has been among the best all season long.
Their toughest test came in the regular-season finale on the road at San Joaquin Delta College. In a tightly contested matchup, the team battled through adversity to secure a gritty 71-67 victory. The game served as a playoff-type atmosphere — physical, intense, and close until the final buzzer. The ability to execute down the stretch in that environment could prove invaluable in the postseason.
Earned, Not Given
The 26-2 record didn't happen by accident. It's the result of months of preparation, discipline, and a team-first mentality. On both ends of the floor, the Falcons have been dominant — capable of putting up 100 points on any given night while also locking down defensively when games get tight.
Earning a first-round bye reflects not only their record but their consistency throughout the season. The extra time off has allowed the team to recover, sharpen details, and prepare for the challenges ahead.
Playoff Basketball Returns to Falcon Gym
Now the focus shifts to Saturday night.
The Falcons will host their second-round playoff matchup at 7 p.m. in the Falcon Gym. The opponent will be determined later this week, but the stakes are clear: win and advance.
Home-court advantage could be a major factor. The Falcons have protected their home floor all season, feeding off the energy of the crowd and setting the tone early in games. A packed gym on Saturday could provide the spark needed to continue their postseason run.
Built for the Moment
From blowout victories to clutch road wins, this team has shown it can win in multiple ways. They've proven they can dominate — and they've proven they can grind.
Now, with the regular season behind them and a first-round bye secured, the Falcons begin the next chapter of what has already been a special season.
Tip-off is set for Saturday at 7 p.m. The road to a championship continues at home.
