SANTA MARIA, Calif. - The Allan Hancock College women's basketball team suffered a pair of heartbreaking losses at the annual AHC Crossover on Friday evening and Saturday afternoon.

The Bulldogs opened the event against Taft College on day one, where they saw a 17-point lead evaporate during the final frame after the Coguars rattled off 30 points in the fourth. The home squad eventually fell in the 85-84 loss after Taft made two free throws with 0.4 seconds remaining on the clock to secure the win in regulation. Khaelii Robertson-Mack led the way with a 21-point, 13-rebound double-double. Giselle Calderon and India Dowling-Green rounded out the top scorers for Coach Smith's crew with 18 points and 14 points, respectively. | BOX SCORE

Hancock's second loss of the weekend came in an overtime thriller with Chaffey College on Saturday afternoon. The back-and-forth battle featured 12 ties and six lead changes en route to the 90-85 loss in the extra period. The Panthers caught a break with 1:14 remaining on the clock after a common foul and a technical foul gave them four shots at the charity stripe and the ensuing possession. Chaffey used the opportunity to build a lead that they could ride through to the end after making two of the four tries and a three-pointer after the in-bounds play. | BOX SCORE
