Lady Pirate Basketball

Lady Pirates Comeback Effort Falls Short

Eleven points is all the ICC women’s basketball team could muster in the first half Friday night at Hutchinson Community College. The Lady Pirates did rally in the second half to tie the score at 37-37 with over three minutes to play. However they just could not ever get over the hump and fell 50-42 to the Lady Blue Dragons. "It doesn't take a genius to figure out what went wrong tonight." said ICC Head Coach Tony Turner. "We just could not shoot the ball tonight. That being said, if we would have began the game with the same intensity and urgency we played with after halftime we would have been fine."

Ashley Gladden led Independence in scoring once again with 12 points. Becca Holman added 11 including 3 3-point baskets. Sophomore Jolene Tamboue also grabbed 13 rebounds for the Lady Pirates.

The Lady Pirates complete the two game Grand Prairie Hotel Classic tomorrow as they take on Cloud County Community College at 1:30pm.
