Lady Roadrunners basketball team splits two games before break

Dec. 11 - North Central Missouri College at Trenton

 The Lady Roadrunners lost a 90-75 game to North Central Missouri College in Trenton.

"We settled for some three-point shots in the second half," said Lady Roadrunners Head Coach Nicole Collier. "I felt we should have probably kept attacking them a little bit. The three-point shots were there, but they just weren't going down. North Central got some momentum in the fourth quarter. We let them get up 10 points a couple of times, and we fought back. Unfortunately, we were not able to use our size and make them match up with us."
