The women’s basketball team won their game Tuesday night, February 23rd, against LaGrange College. The lady Lions beat LaGrange 81-60 to make them 10-0 in conference play. The lady’s rank first in conference at the moment as they are going to hit the road this coming weekend and play Mayville College twice. The women’s basketball team plays Maryville on Saturday, February 27th at 6 PM and then again on Sunday, February 28th at 3 PM. Maryville is their toughest conference opponent for the season and this coming game determines who will be ranked first going into the conference championship.
