Strong 4^th Quarter Propels Conquistadors Over Colby

Powered by leading scorer Emery Mazes' 19-point outing, the Dodge City Community College women's basketball team downed the Colby Trojans 67-61 at the Student Activity Center Wednesday, March 24^th.

After the Conqs jumped out to a 25-14 lead at the end of the 1^st quarter, Colby responded with an impressive 23-2 2^nd quarter advantage to take a 37-27 lead into halftime.

Ane Garcia de Vicuna scored the lone basket for the Conquistadors as they went 1-13 from the field and 0-7 from three in the quarter, while the Trojans slowly chipped away and ultimately took the lead with 3:18 to play in the quarter.

Coming out of halftime, the Conquistadors were able to cut their deficit to just one-point after a Keimora Banks three-pointer made the score 42-41 with just 4:44 remaining in the 3^rd. Colby responded with an 8-2 run to close the quarter, taking a 50-43 lead into the 4^th.

The Conquistadors went from down seven to up seven thanks to a 17-3 run to open the 4^th quarter. Sophomore Emery Maze scored all nine of her 4^th quarter points over the span of the run to help put the Conqs up 60-53 with 4:15 remaining in the game.

Colby would come as close as three at 60-57 with 2:35 left, but it was the Conquistadors who knocked down their free throws to secure a much-needed victory.

"I'm proud of how the team persevered," said head coach Zach Loll. "It hasn't been easy. We could have quit after the 2^nd quarter but we went in at the half and regrouped. We rebounded and competed in the second half. That's what allowed us to finish this game."

The win marks the first time all season that the Conquistadors have entered the 4^th quarter trailing and come back to win. Their 70% (7-10) mark from the free throw line in the 4^th quarter bests their season average of 56% and helped finalize the win against a Colby team hot on the Conquistador tail for the final playoff spot in the impending KJCCC Playoffs.

The Conquistadors were led by Emery Maze's 19 points while also securing six rebounds and two steals. Keimora Banks added 12 points and four assists and Ane Garcia de Vicuna chipped in 11 points off the bench. Timyja Threlkeld helped keep the Conquistadors settled down, providing spark plays when they needed it on her way to nine points, seven rebounds, two assists, and two steals.

Colby was led by Keerigan Johnson's 14 points, followed by Katelyn Alatini (12 points), and Kiarra Henderson (11 points). Twins Da'Jah and De'Jah Vigilante both added nine points as the Trojans almost put all five starters in double-figures.

The win moves Dodge City to 5-14 on the season and 4-14 in KJCCC play, while also putting them ahead of Colby for the final playoff spot in the KJCCC playoffs. Colby sits at 3-13 in conference play. Both teams have three games remaining.

Dodge City is back in action on Saturday, March 27^th when the two teams travel to Goodland, Kansas to take on the Northwest Kansas Tech Mavericks in a KJCCC doubleheader. The women's game kicks things off at 2:00 pm CST with the men's game to follow.
