OCC committed 31 turnovers in the game.
The Pirates were led offensively by Steve Cornett, who popped in 20 points. Nicholas Milan added 13 ponits off the bench and Tres Saldivar chipped in 10.
Against Victor Valley, the roles were reversed as OCC (2-3) found the shooting touch from downtown, hitting nine 3s in the first half en route to a 58-point first half.
Using their relentless defense, OCC forced 31 Victor Valley turnovers along the way.
Six different players reached double digits for the Pirates, led by 17 points from Cameron Wise.
