In a Monday night conference road-game, the No. 1 Hornets completed the season sweep with a 99-64 win over Golden West College.

At the seven minute-mark, Godfrey Little joined in on the sharp-shooting with a trey of his own putting FC up 42-20. Holding a strong 62-30 lead by the halftime break, Fullerton was well in charge of the game.

Holding the Rustlers in a headlock for the remainder of the second half, the Hornets walked away with the conference win remaining undefeated in the OEC. FC's bench points totaled an outstanding 52, while GWC earned 22.
