A record breaking pass play, one of five passing touchdowns, helped the Lancers football team to a victory against Glendale Community College on Saturday.

The record setting play was a 96-yard pass by quarterback Justin Posthuma to wide receiver Jose Rodriguez. PCC has won the last seven games against Glendale with the final score of Lancers 49 to Vaqueros 28.

In a game fraught with personal injury, the women’s soccer team put up a good fight in the season opening game, hosting the LA Pierce College women’s soccer team at Robinson Stadium on Sept. 2. The Lancers lost 6-3, but the effort showed by the women was commendable.
