2/8 MBC Looked to Solidify Playoff Berth with Win vs NCWC.

MBC Faced NCWC on the road in hopes of another USA South Win. The Squirrels won the first game of the season, and the win could allow MBC to seal a position in the Conference Tournament

MBC got off to an extremely slow start, with Jennifer Dobson hitting the only basket for the first 12:27 until Iiesha Ricks hit some free-throws to make it 4-9. A late 3-pointer by Kim
Jefferson would keep the game close at 23-27.

The Squirrels would struggle to keep up the intensity, as the
Battling Bishops would open up a 20 point lead with 5:41 left in
the game. Baldwin would struggle to cut the lead in the closing
minutes, losing 61-72

Christie Hamilton had a season high 22 points with 6 rebounds.
Iiesha Ricks added 12 points and Kim Jefferson added 9 points.

The Squirrels are on the road vs Shenandoah on Tuesday Feb 10
for a 7pm start.
