Chargers fell at 5th-ranked Riverside 72-55

Riverside, CA - The Chargers traveled to Riverside, known as a hostile environment for JC Basketball in the Southland. The Riverside faithfuls once again was the 6th man for the Tigers (12-5, 2-0) which defeated the Chargers (5-14, 0-3) in good old fashion 72-55.  The Tigers opened the game with a 17-3 lead but the Charger stormed back to cut the lead to 38-33 early in the second half and managed to stay within 10 points most of the way. The 5th ranked Tigers proved to be too much for the undersized Chargers.
