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.
