It wasn’t a nice visit for the Miles City Community College women’s basketball team in the Toepke Center Sunday afternoon. The Dawson Lady Bucs blasted the Lady Pioneers 78-37.
“The team chemistry was outstanding this afternoon,” commented DCC Coach Romeo Lagmay, Jr. “To see our team gel, supporting one another whether good or bad, was really something special to witness. These gals have always given 100% effort throughout the season, and that was the one thing that kept us going strong. We were well balanced tonight. You just never know about rivalry games. Records don’t count. So it’s anyone’s game, and they have a really good experienced coach.”
Dawson edged out Miles in almost every category. They outrebounded them 38-26, had 27 steals, and 22 team assists. Miles had 39 turnovers for the game and shot 25% from the field. The Lady Buccaneers outscored their opponent 36-4 in the paint and 33-12 off the bench. The red and black attack saw 41 points converted off turnovers.
Every Lady Buccaneer scored in the game with sophomore Olivia Williams leading with 14 points, to go along with 6 rebounds and a game high 6 steals. Eva Kingston scored 12 points, had 4 rebounds and 3 steals. Samantha Jenkins added 11 points, grabbed 5 rebounds and collected 3 steals.
DCC gets no rest as they hit the road to visit the Lady Tetons of Williston State College on Monday, January 17 at 5:30 pm. Dawson currently sits in 3rd place in conference, while Williston is in 4th.
