Conquistadors Pick Up Win in OT Thriller

The Dodge City Community College women's basketball team got back in the win column with a 65-62 overtime victory over the Garden City Broncbusters on Saturday afternoon.

The contest featured 10 ties, nine lead changes, and both programs holding the lead for 17 and 19 minutes respectively, making an overtime ending only fitting.

After an Emery Maze three-pointer, the Conquistadors took a four-point lead with 0:43 seconds left in the fourth quarter. The Broncbusters immediately responded with an Aerihan Afoa three to pull within one. A Keimora Banks jumper put the Conquistador lead to three with 0:24 seconds left, prompting a Broncbuster timeout to set up their play.

Afoa, the recipient of that play, came off several screens to get a three-point look but was fouled by the Conquistadors' Celebria Peacock. Afoa would make all three and the Conquistadors' game winning shot attempt would fall off the iron, taking the contest to overtime.

The Conquistadors immediately put the pressure on Garden City, attacking the paint for two consecutive layups by freshmen Peacock and Payton James to take a four-point lead. Their lead would get as big as five off another James layup with 0:40 seconds left.

However, Garden City wouldn't just rollover. A layup by Donetria McGee with 0:10 seconds left got the visiting team within striking distance. The Conquistadors called a timeout to advance the ball but were to find an open option, leading to a 5-second call to give the Broncbusters the ball back. The Conquistadors pulled out a hard-fought victory after a missed three-point attempt.

"I am happy for our players," said head coach Zach Loll. "It was good to see smiles in the locker room. They have continued to work and get better when it would have been easy to just say we are done. We have to enjoy this quickly and get back to work Sunday to get ready for Seward."

The Conquistadors were led by a season high of 17 points by freshman Payton James. Keimora Banks added 16 points to go with her five rebounds and four assists. Emery Maze flirted with a double-double scoring nine points to go with her 12 rebounds, as did Madison Gissendanner who scored six points to go with nine rebounds.

Garden City was led by Aerihana Afoa's 16 points, 14 of which came in the fourth quarter and overtime. Forward Justis Odom followed Afoa with 11 points and 14 rebounds. Britney Mapang came off the bench to chip in 11 points, four rebounds, and three steals.

Dodge City moves to 3-7 on the year and 2-7 in KJCCC play. The win snapped a 7-game losing streak for the Conquistadors as they look to battle back and fight for seeding in the KJCCC tournament.

The Conquistadors are back in action on Monday, March 1^st as they host the Seward County Saints in a makeup game from February 24^th. The game is slated to begin at 6:30 pm CST and will be the first basketball game back on campus at the Student Activity Center. Tickets can be purchased here.
