Women’s Basketball: Raiders Quiet Storm

The Central Community College women's basketball team made it four wins in a row with a 62-56 home win over Southeast Community College on Friday.

The Raiders got off to a hot start and built a 16-point lead in the first half en route to a 34-24 halftime advantage. At one point during the first half, CCC hit four consecutive three-point buckets.

In the second half, the Lady Storm mounted a comeback and tied the game at 52-52 with five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. Two minutes later, the score was deadlocked at 54 apiece when CCC took off on an 8-2 run to post the six-point victory.

"I'm really proud of the girls for the effort," said CCC head coach Billy Perkins. "The girls did a good job of grinding when we needed to grind."

Jasmine Williams led the Raiders with 19 points, while Monica Brooks finished with 15 points. Sarah Monahan tallied 12 points, which included a pair of three-pointers.

"(Monahan) has been playing pretty good solid basketball," said Perkins. "She has earned a captain's spot and so I am very proud of Sarah."

The win gives the Raiders a 10-10 mark for the 2019-20 season.

CCC returns to Raider Fieldhouse on Tuesday to host Concordia University JV. Tip-off is set for 6 p.m.
