The Lady Saints broke not just one, but FOUR records, on top of tying two more in the world of basketball on Wednesday night.

Colby CC was only able to put up four points during the quarter, ending the first half, 66-13.
The third quarter was better for the Colby Trojans, but the Lady Saints were still on fire. The Lady Saints put up seven more threes and added thirteen assists. With only one minute left in the third quarter, freshman guard, Chelsea Lazenby, contributed the three that broke the three-point record for SCCC. The third quarter came to an end with a score of 96-28.
The fourth quarter consisted of breaking a record for the largest margin of victory over a Jayhawk opponent in school history, 85 points. Seward finished the historical game against Colby with a score of 130-48, winning by 82 points.
