The Central Community College women's basketball team lost to United Tribes Technical College, 77-53, in the North District Playoff Championship on Saturday in Bismarck, N.D.

The hometown Thunderbirds set the tone early with a 26-3 advantage at the end of the first period. UTTC went on to lead 48-18 at halftime and went on to the victory and the NJCAA National Tournament.

Monica Brooks logged a double-double with 22 points and 10 rebounds, while Jasmine Williams finished with 15 points.

"UTTC came out and played fast and shot the ball well," said CCC head coach Billy Perkins (pictured top row center). "We just could never seem to get it going on both ends of the floor."

With the loss, the Raiders finished the 2019-20 season with a mark of 14-14.

"I am very proud of our team and how it kept playing hard each and every game," said Perkins. "This team has done some great things and I'm very proud of each player. They have set a standard both on and off the court for future CCC teams."
