The WNCC men's and women's basketball teams split with Northeastern Junior College Thursday night at Sterling, Colo.
The women, who put three players in double figures, fought off a determined comeback from the Plainswomen to win 77-63.
The men, on the other hand, spotted the No. 8 Plainsmen a 21-9 lead to open the game and never could cut the deficit to single digits the rest of the way in falling 94-82.
The Cougar men did, however, outscore the quick and athletic Plainsmen 47-44 in the second half. The WNCC men put three players in double figures, led by CJ Hampton's 23 points followed by Matthew Akins with 20 and Ricardo De Bem's 15.
On the women's side, the Cougars had three players in double figures. Tiara Scott led all scorers with 15 points followed by Kiki Taylor and Emma Beddome with 12 apiece. Beddome also knocked home four the the team's five 3-pointers.
Next up for the Cougar men and women will be a home contest Saturday, Jan. 20, when they host Otero Junior College. Tip-off for the first game is set for 5:30 p.m.
