The No. 7 Long Beach City College softball team fell to No. 5 El Camino College, 3-0, on Friday afternoon. With the loss, the Vikings drop to 21-3 overall and 14-2 in South Coast Conference play.

El Camino struck early with a home run to left field in the first inning to put the Warriors up 1-0. The Vikings remained within striking distance, but El Camino added two insurance runs in the seventh inning with RBI singles.
