No. 1 Lady Cavaliers post easy win

“This game was over shortly after it started last Monday at JCCC.

The JCCC women’s basketball team, ranked No. 1 in NJCAA D-II, scored 31 unanswered points to start the game, and cruised to a 102-31 victory over Missouri Valley JV.

Amazingly, the 71-point margin of victory was not a record in the series. The Lady Cavaliers downed the Vikings by 112 points (145-33) on Nov. 18, 1991.

Six players finished in double figures scoring for Johnson County. Sophomore forward Kathleen Brisbane led the way with 16 points, hitting eight of her nine field goal attempts.”
