Lady Cougars keep pace with a solid road win.

January 17, 2007    KVCC (77) vs. Lake Michigan College (53) in Benton Harbor

         A conference win - on the road - 'nuff said.  "Playing on the road in this conference can be full of unexplained stuff, so for us to get a 24 point win at LMC is great."  explained Coach Welch.  "We put together a couple of significant runs and got everybody (all players played) some good minutes plus had a good defensive team effort.  We talked about using our obvious size advantage and Kim Gear at 6'2" (15 points, 10 rebounds) and Kendra Kutz at 5'11"(14 points, 4 assists) responded.  Ever steady Charity Knight dropped in 12 points and had 4 steals for the Cougars also.  Kutz and Gear both played less than 20 minutes."  The loss kept the struggling host team without a win in conference play and the Cougars tied for first with Muskegon at 4-1 in the league

         League play continues on Saturday as the Cougars host the always dangerous Stars of Lansing Community College.  Game time is 1:00 pm at Cougar Arena.  "Nicole Wallace and Latoya Leek were conference All Stars last year and are great players."  Commented the Cougar coach.  "Wallace had 30+ points against Grand Rapids on Wednesday and Leek is a force to be reckoned with in the post.  We'll have to play well."
