Citrus College battled but couldn't overcome a late surge from Palomar College in a 79-62 loss Saturday evening at the 40th Annual Charger Classic, hosted by Cypress College.
The Owls slip to 5-3 overall, while the Comets remain undefeated at 8-0 on the year.
Jolleen Olia was the lone Owl in double figures, finishing with 21 points (6-for-18). Deija Mitchell was just on the cusp with nine points (4-for-7), while Sammy Martinez chipped in eight points (3-for-4).
