Lady Pirate Basketball

ICC Wins Conference Opener

The Independence women's basketball began conference play in impressive fashion. Indy came away with a 67-64 victory over #5 (D2) Johnson County. "It's nice to get off to a good start in the conference." said Lady Pirate Coach Tony Turner. "This was a big win for us today, but we still have a ways to go if we are going to achieve the high goals we have set for ourselves." This was ICC's first game in over a month, but showed very little signs of having any "ring rust".

Three Lady Pirates found their way to double-digit scoring games. They were led by Chelsea Trimble's 15 points. Rhea Codio and Morgan Clark also contributed 10 points each.

The Lady Pirates are back in action Wednesday, January 9 at 5pm in Parsons, KS as they take on the Lady Cardinals of Labette Community College.
