Baca Within Range of Fullerton Record

Angie Baca, a sophomore guard from Norwalk John Glenn, is on pace to set the Fullerton women’s career scoring record.

Baca is averaging a team-high 17 points per game and has scored 677 points about a third of the way into her second season at Fullerton. Fullerton’s record of 917 points is held by Peggy Reid (1977-79).

Baca, who has a high of 34 this season, needs to average 13 points over the final 19 games (at least) in order to move into first. She also needs 27 three-pointers to set Fullerton’s all-time record in that department.

Aimee Copp is Fullerton’s second leading scorer this season, averaging 16.5 points and leads in rebounds at 8.5.

Heather Floyd leads the Hornets (7-4) in assists at six.

Moving on: Mike Knox, a tight end at Orange Coast, has committed to Pittsburgh, Coach Bill Workman said.

Knox, from Chino High, had 24 receptions for 259 yards in eight games. He missed the first two games and was limited to a part-time role in the next three.
