Dawson Women Succeed on Pink Night

Dawson Women Succeed on Pink Night

It was a very successful night for the Dawson Community College Lady Buccaneers.  Not only did they win their game against Williston State College, 94-39, but they raised a lot of money to support the Play 4Kay initiative.  There isn’t a final count yet, but it will be released as soon as all of the donations are collected and counted.  Head Coach Romeo Lagmay, Jr. believes this may be one of the biggest ones yet held on campus, “It was great to see so many fans from all over support the cause and awareness of breast cancer research in our Play 4Kay Pink Night game.  When it’s all said and done, it’s about the love and care we have for one another as human beings.”

Dawson (6-5, 14-14) would dominate Williston (1-10, 4-23) from start to finish.  The Lady Bucs went into the first quarter blazing hot, outscoring them 24-8.  They would continue to dominate throughout the rest of the game by sealing it in similar fashion as they did from the beginning, ending the fourth quarter 29-4.  Dawson shot a great all-around game with 46% from the field, 45% from 3-point range and 79% from the foul line.  Dawson also outscored Williston from the bench 40-0, while outscoring the Lady Tetons 16-9 in second chance points.  The Lady Bucs finished with 23 assists, and had 43 points from turnovers. 

Every single Lady Buc produced in the scoring column.  Ashya Klopfenstein led the way with 20 points, 9 rebounds and 6 steals in only 25 minutes of on-court action.  Megan Lindbo had 13 points and 4 rebounds.  Ashley Orozco had an all-around game with 12 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 5 steals.  Haley Olson followed closely behind with 12 points of her own, along with 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals.  Arena Plenty contributed 10 points, shooting perfect from 3-point land (2-2), along with 3 rebounds.

The Lady Buccaneers will play on the road on February 16 at 2:00 pm against Dakota College at Bottineau.
