After moving up five spots in the latest CCCMBCA Poll, No. 13-ranked Citrus College continued rolling with a 70-59 victory over Bakersfield College Wednesday night.

The Owls improve to 17-5 on the year and 8-1 in Western State Conference-South action with their eighth-straight win. The Renegades drop to 11-7, 3-3 with the defeat.

Leonard Turner led the Owls with 24 points and grabbed 11 rebounds for a double-double. Jayden Johnston added 13 points, while Chris Chiles helped fuel the offense with seven assists and no turnovers.
