Ned Mircetic is 537-84 (.865) in 19 years as the head coach of the Ventura College women's basketball team.

There is only one program who has a winning record over the Pirates in five or more contests during that span.

The Ventura College women's basketball team is 7-9 against Mount San Antonio College since 1990, including a 2-8 mark since the 1999-2000 season. Which means Mount SAC has given Mircetic more than 10 percent of his losses.

The Mounties have won the last six meetings since Ventura won the 2002 state title game between the two teams and are 6-0 in fall tournament finals since 2000, including 4-0 over Ventura in the VC-Kiwanis Tournament of Champions.

The last 10 meetings:

Nov. 11, 2000: Mount SAC 64, Ventura 53 -- Chaffey tourney semis
Nov. 26, 2000: Mount SAC 55, Ventura 53 -- VC-Kiwanis TOC final
Dec. 1, 2001: Ventura 76, Mount SAC 70 (OT) -- VC-Kiwanis TOC third-place
