Jasmine Aviles and Vanessa Romo each scored eight points, as T’Keyah Stapleton added five rebounds, three assists and two steals, but went 2 of 14 shooting.
Tina Lair van-Meter, an effective inside presence for the Spartans, missed her second straight game heading into the break.
The Spartan women sit 5-6 at the break and have been battling injury issues. SWCC’s first game after the break will be Jan. 5 at Kishwaukee College in Malta, Illinois.
