Alana Simon had a big game scoring 22 points, followed closely by Brianna Scott with 19 points.

Colby

The kept increasing their lead, and ended the game with a win of 80-54 over the Colby Lady Trojans.

Pratt

Pratt took an early lead on Seward, but it did not take long for the Lady Saints to catch up. Not only did they catch up, but they also had gained a lead  and caused Pratt to make turnovers.
