Cold Shooting Night Costly for Lady Redskins

The Liberal Lady Redskins have dropped two straight for the first time since 2017.  That’s after a 45-36 loss at the Dodge City Fieldhouse Friday night.  Liberal’s shooting struggles continued as LHS shot 24% (10-41) while the Dodge City Lady Demons shot 44 percent (15-34).  LHS was 6-25 from two point range.  Liberal took high percentage shots most of the night but could not find the bottom of the net.

The Lady Redskins led 14-13 after one quarter but missed many two footers in the first quarter which would have allowed them to be ahead by more.  Liberal struggled in the second quarter as the Lady Demons out paced LHS 14-5 in the quarter to lead 27-19 at the half.  Dodge City led 34-19 and led the Lady Red 34-25 after three quarters.   The Lady Redskins cut the lead to 36-30 with 3:15 to play.
