Lady Storm Extends Winning Streak

The Lady Storm extended their winning streak to eight with an 85-51 dismantling of Concordia Junior Varsity on Friday, Feb. 6, at the Truman Center.

Co-Head Coach Vicki Wooton said her team “played a great defensive game,” forcing 29 turnovers. Southeast converted those turnovers into 40 points. They held Concordia to just 25.4 percent shooting.

The coach said the team also did a “great job” from the free throw line. SCC shot 81.5 percent from the charity stripe. Poor free throw shooting (56.1 percent) was a factor in the team’s previous loss to Concordia (65-60) in the Central Community College Classic on Nov. 2.

National Junior College Athletic Association player of the week Breanna Grant led SCC with a double/double, scoring 18 points and grabbing 11 boards. She also added three assists and four steals and made 10 out of 11 free throws.

Sophomore Chelsea Savage was perfect from the line, hitting 6/6 while scoring 15 points and dishing out seven assists. Fellow New Zealander Veshae Wilkinson added 11 points in 11 minutes of play.

Hannah Roberts controlled the boards, pulling down 11.

SCC improved their record to 16-6 on the season, and is currently ranked 17th in the country. They travel to Central Community College, on Wednesday, Feb. 11, for a conference and regional showdown.
