No. 11-ranked Citrus College battled until the final whistle blew but came up just short against ninth-ranked Santiago Canyon, 89-86.
The Owls slip to 6-2 on the year while the Hawks improve to 8-1.
Five Owls finished the night in double figures, led by Jayden Johnston's 18 points (6-for-11). He also had seven boards. Anthony Tello (7-for-14) and Leonard Turner (4-for-6) each chipped in 14 points, while Dylon Davis (4-for-7) and Chris Harper (4-for-9) contributed 11 points apiece.
Citrus overcome an 11-point deficit to pull within a single possession, but time ran out before the Owls could try to force an extra period.
