Woodland Hills, CA - The Citrus College Women's Swim team continued it's 2017 campaign on Friday afternoon when it participated in the WSC #2 Event hosted by Los Angeles Pierce College that included the Owls, the host Brahmas, and Allan Hancock, Bakersfield, Santa Barbara City, and Ventura Colleges. The Owls finished a respectable third on the afternoon, besting the Bulldogs and Brahmas, but falling just shy of Vaqueros and Pirates.
