Head Coach Romeo Lagmay, Jr. explained the team’s puzzling outcomesh,”I’ve said it all season.  We’re a team that can beat anyone, as well as lose to anyone.  We play solid total team effort on defense: rotations, deflections, pressure on the ball and forcing turnovers.  But when we get to the offensive end, we just seem to struggle consistently scoring, or rather scoring from those that are expected to score.  We’ve had two solid scorers for the most part, but we are desperately needing others to step up.  Until that time comes, we will continue to struggle making baskets.  No matter what, we will continue to fight because that is something we have never questioned throughout the year.”

The Lady Bucs will be on the road visiting the Lady Royals of Lake Region State College in Devils Lake, ND on Sunday, February 9 at 1:00 pm.
