A Sluggish but Successful Saturday for Lady Red

One day after a six hour round trip and their biggest win of the season, the Liberal Lady Redskins had a home game with an old WAC rival.  The upset minded Dodge City Lady Demons came to town.  Liberal did enough for a 47-36 win.

The Lady Redskins had good energy early jumping out to a 16-3 lead.  LHS led 13-3 after one quarter.  It was 22-10 just before half and 22-13 LHS at the half.  LHS led 26-15 before the Lady Demons made the score 26-20.  Liberal led 34-21 but DCHS ripped off an 8-0 run to make it 34-29 with 3:50 to play.  Liberal led 39-34 with 1:25 to play.  The Lady Skins led 41-34 with 58 seconds left and won 47-36.

Katie Horyna had 15 points to lead Liberal while Machia Mullens had 12.  Audrey Gilmore dropped in seven.  Liberal’s made free throws down the stretch were key as Gilmore was 5-6 at the line and LHS was 20-26.

Liberal is 16-0 and 5-0 in the WAC and has won five in a row over Dodge City.  The Lady Demons are 7-9 and 2-2 in the WAC.  Liberal hosts Cimarron Tuesday night at 6 in the Big House with Redskin Pre-game at 5:45 on 1270 and kscbnews.net.
