[Nov. 29, 2012] COLORADO
SPRINGS, Colo. – Gritt Ryder and Jess Samorodova each scored 15 points and the Western
Nebraska Community College women’s basketball team remained unbeaten with a
64-38 win over Adams State College junior varsity Thursday at the Air Force
Prep tournament in Colorado Springs, Colo.
WNCC
coach Dave Harnish said his team played well defensively, but came out sluggish
offensively. He said that might because of the 10-day layoff between games. The
Cougar women last played Nov. 20 when they defeated Casper 72-42.
“The
first half we were a little bit sluggish and we actually didn’t pull away. We
didn’t score well tonight, but I thought we played defense well,” Harnish said.
“The second half we came out real strong and opened up a 30-point lead at 55-20
before we started to play the bench.”
Harnish
said it was tight for the first part of the contest until they opened up the
contest with a late first-half run to lead 31-13 at the break. The second half
saw the Cougars lead balloon to 30 points.
“We haven’t played in a week and a half,”
he said. “We just didn’t shoot the ball very well. We need to play better
tomorrow [Friday]. The Las Vegas Heat has a 6-foot-4 girl that is athletic and
most of their players are like 25 years old.”
The
Cougars also received seven points each from Laurin Rivera and Maurissa Ortega,
while Shalisa Moffitt collected six points.
WNCC,
9-0, will get a test Friday when they take on the Las Vegas Heat, which is an
all-star team at 6 p.m. Harnish said that the Las Vegas Heat was up on Casper College
by 15 points at halftime. WNCC will then wrap up the Air Force Prep on Saturday
against the host team at 4 p.m.
