Head Coach Jim Middleton said his players "really came out on fire. Our shots were on at the start of the game. Our press defense was good. Our bench did a wonderful job. Our depth, in general, was a big positive factor. It's good to be home. It was a great effort. We've put ourselves in a good position for the start of conference play."

Leading 98-49 with seconds remaining, the crowd urged the Lady 'Cats to try to hit the century mark with their last shot. But in a class act, Coach Middleton signaled for them to stall out the clock.

The Lady 'Cats are in action next at home on Saturday, December 11, against Northwest Missouri State. Game time is at 5:30.
