The LCC women's basketball team defeated St. Clair Community College on Nov. 20, 57-40. Freshman Jada Moorehead scored 30 points to lead the team.

This win puts the Stars' record at 3-1.

"Overall I'm proud of the fight," LCC Head Coach Layne Ingram said. "(I'm) proud of the plays they make down the stretch."

According to Ingram, in the first half of the game the Stars struggled by having eight turnovers.
