Before the game, LCC honored its sophomore athletes: Celia Ridsdale, Alaina McFarland, Tanaesha Daniels and Gracelyn Hull.

LCC Head Coach Layne Ingram commented on the sophomores' achievements.

"I think all of our sophomores played well," Ingram said. "I think Celia Ridsdale had a great game. She leads us, she plays tough, she plays hard all the time and that's obvious, she led us in scoring today."

"(We had) great communication when it came to defense," Daniels said. "We talked a lot, moved around, passed the ball pretty good."

Freshman Abigail Koneval delivered six assists and Daniels grabbed seven rebounds for LCC.

"I'm just really proud of these kids, I love them very much," Ingram said. "I'm glad that they chose LCC and I hope that it's been a good experience for them, too."
