The Bulldogs (22-6, 10-2) finished the regular season in second place in the Western State Conference (North) league standings after suffering a 66-62 loss at Ventura College (15-13, 8-4) on Friday evening. Hancock opened the second half with an 11-0 run after trailing by one at the intermission, but VC cut the deficit to five just two minutes later. Coach Aye's squad built the lead back up to double digits by the midway point, but the hosting Pirates used a 12-0 run to get back in the game. The score was tied at 60-60 with under three minutes remaining before VC sealed the deal with a tip-in, a dunk, and a pair of free throws down the stretch. Mylo Santos led the way for AHC with 16 points, followed by Taevon Pierre-Louis (13) and Jeremyah Aquino (11).
