The Lady Lions have been busy in 2012, this past week they
played four games in just six days. Monday night they travelled to Bismarck, ND
and play United Tribes Technical College in a game that came down to the wire.
They lost by only two points and had a chance to tie, but missed the shot and
lost 70 to 68. Tuesday night they played host to the University of
Minnesota-Morris, they lost 83 to 35 and on Friday night they travelled to
Madison, SD to play Dakota State University and lost 78 to 62. On Saturday they
ventured all the way down to Ankeny, IA to square off against regional opponent
Faith Baptist Bible College.
The Lady
Lions looked to get back to their winning ways after a three game losing streak
and they came out strong in the first half against the Faith Eagles. They used
a 20 to 6 run to start the game to take a 17point lead into halftime 32 to 15.
The second half was a little lower scoring as the Lady Lions would score 25 and
Faith only 19. The Lady Lions went on to win 57 to 34. The Lady Lions forced 34
Eagle turnovers and out rebounded them only 38 to 35. The Lady Lions had four
