There were mixed feelings at Nellis Hall following a doubleheader split between the Ravens and Cloud County.

 

The Lady Ravens opened up a 14-point halftime lead following a 22-3 run to end the half. The Thunderbirds would storm back in the second half, getting as close as two points, but the Ravens would hang on for a 74-63 win in Game 1.

 

Head coach Tony Turner says his team did a nice job of staying composed.

 

Kyleigh Ortiz led the team with 22 points, while Jae'Mya Lyons played her first game at CCC, contributing four points, seven rebounds, an assist, and a steal.

 

Turner says she will be a key piece for this team.

 

The men struggled against the nation's top scoring defense in Game 2, falling 63-43. CCC shot just 21% from the field, and only made 10 shots as a team on the night.

 

Assistant coach Jake Odum says it was a frustrating night, and they'll go back to the drawing board.

 

The Ravens make their first conference road trip on Saturday, traveling to face the Cowley Tigers.
