Midland College Lady Chaps vs. New Mexico Junior College Lady Thunderbirds
Thursday, February 20, 2025
Hobbs, NM
The Midland College Lady Chaps will need to play their best game of the season when they travel to Hobbs, NM for a contest versus the #1 ranked NMJC Lady T-Birds. The Lady Chaps, 4-6 in conference, maintains a razor-thin chance to make the NJCAA Region 5 Tournament. MC is currently in a tie for 5th place in the WJCAC standings, two games out of a playoff spot with four games remaining in the regular season. The top four teams advance to the post-season.
Midland College has been mired in a difficult stretch, losing three of four games in the month of February. Each of those losses were by fewer than 10 points, including a ten point defeat to #11 South Plains College on the road. The current streak doesn't tell the story of how hard the team has competed over the last six conference games. It is possible for MC to attack NMJC and to extract a win tonight.
Lady Chaps Toyah Montgomery, Dee Henderson, Brianna Vargas and Endija Sedlina will need to explode offensively and the team will need to be excellent on defense to spring the upset.
Go Lady Chaps!
