The Dawson Community College Lady Buccaneers couldn’t seem to challenge Gillette College from the tipoff Friday night. The visitors found themselves in the deep end drowning in every quarter, never coming up for air, and eventually losing to the Lady Pronghorns 42-92.
It would be a horrible shooting night for DCC as there were no players in double figures for the game. They shot 25% from the field and 15% from the three-point line. Without a Lady Buc as a scoring threat, other areas also suffered with 24 turnovers, a rebounding deficit of 10, and not being able to stop Gillette’s transition offense.
The fourth quarter would be Dawson’s worst performance as the Lady Pronghorns outscored the Lady Bucs 30-8. Gillette had 3 players in double figures with Kobe King-Hawea scoring a game high 29 points, Sara Calavia with 13 points and Sklar Patton with 11.
Head coach Romeo Lagmay, Jr. was in total disbelief, “This team is not in a bracket where they showcase a losing performance getting whooped by 50 points. We are very young, and we are all learning to come together to find better chemistry. It’s early in the season, and the hope is to improve every game, and start being successful the Dawson way…and that’s winning consistently, all while competing at our fullest potential.”
The Lady Bucs will face Colorado Northwestern on Saturday at the Pronghorn Center in Gillette at 11:00am.
