Dodge City women's basketball hit the road on Saturday for their second matchup against a Top 25 team in the week as they faced off with #25 Hutchinson Blue Dragons. 

Blue Dragons jumped on the Conquistadors early putting together an 11-1 run in the first quarter and the Conqs were unable to come back from the deficit falling 78-45. 

The loss drops the Conqs to 9-4 on the season and 4-3 in KJCCC action. 

Tied at 6-6 in the first quarter the Conqs saw Hutchinson rain in some three-pointers and the Blue Dragons closed the first quarter on an 11-1 run to lead 17-7 after the first 10 minutes. Shooting woes for the Conqs carried over into the second quarter and the Conqs trailed 32-18 at halftime. While some shots started to fall for the Conqs in the third quarter and second half overall the deficit proved too much to come back from as Hutchinson continued to shoot well and grabbed the 78-45 win. 

Conqs struggled from the floor shooting just 30.6% from the floor and had 25 turnovers, while Hutchinson shot 53.7% from the floor. 

Krystina Hagood led the Conqs in the loss scoring 14 points while grabbing eight rebounds. Jada Burton added eight points, while Bree Stephens chipped in seven points and four rebounds.
