The Independence women's basketball team jumped on Dodge City Community College early with a 13-0 lead and never looked back. ICC held the Lady Conqs scoreless until the 10:36 mark of the first half. "Winning is always a good thing, but we won't reach our potential as a team until we start putting together two halves of basketball." said Head Coach Tony Turner. "I want our girls to feel good about winning, but we need to learn how to finish games strong." Indy led at the half 30-12.

Sophomore Chelsea Trimble led all scorers with 16 points. The Delia, KS native hit 4 of 8 from deep. Jolene Tamboue broke out of a little mini-scoring slump with 15 points. The Sophomore out of Manhattan, KS also grabbed 7 boards.
