WNCC women cruise to 20th win


The Western Nebraska Community College women's basketball team had their way Sunday afternoon against Air Force Prep in posting their 20th win of the season wiht a 94-23 win.

The only suspense to the game was when would the team score their first field goal. And, it took them awhile. Kiki Taylor scored the first four points, all on free throws. Then, with 17 minutes to play, Tiara Scott grabbed an offensive rebound to net the team's first field goal.

After that, the Cougars scored at will from the inside and outside, and all but one Cougar player got their name in the scorebook.

The hot hand for WNCC was freshman Dana Iverson, who finished with 15 points. Iverson had two 3-pointers, six rebounds and three blocked shots.

WNCC also had three other players score in double figures. Scott finished with 14 points and nine rebounds, and Taylor and Victoria Martin each had 12 points.

WNCC, who led 48-13, shot 51 percent from the game and out-rebounded the Air Force Prep Huskies 52-24. The Cougars defense forced 31 turnovers in the win.

WNCC will now be in action Saturday when they host Casper College in a must-win-by-five-points contest to have a chance to host the regional tournament.
