Lady Cyclones Keep It Rolling
Although not the prettiest of games, the Lady Cyclones managed to defeat the County Hornets 64-42 last night, Tuesday January 24th. This now puts the number four ranked Cyclones at 14-2 with their only losses coming from the two top ranked teams in the state, Pueblo South and Air Academy. They still remain in second place in the SC-L after this latest win. After a crushing loss in double overtime to South barely two weeks ago, it seems as if the Cyclones have yet to get back into a rhythm. Shots that were easily made at the beginning of the season now seem to have a hard time finding the bottom of the net. However last night, DeeAnna Arrieta, a senior guard for West who will be playing at CSU-P next year, shot well and gained 18 points, leading all scorers. Just as with their last game, the Cyclones found themselves Read the Rest »
