No. 17 nationally-ranked Rio Hondo College extended its winning streak to four games while staying unbeaten for the season as the Roadrunners got a late goal from sophomore Gracie Lopez to defeat Los Angeles Harbor College 1-0 in Wilmington on Tuesday.
The South Coast Conference interdivision win improved the Roadrunners to 10-0-4 overall while LA Harbor dropped to 8-6-2.

Sophomore Jenny Garcia made five saves in goal for Rio Hondo to post the Roadrunners' seventh shutout of the season.
