Dodge City women's basketball put a bow on the non-conference slate of the schedule beating Arizona Western to wrap up the Midland Classic down in Texas picking up a 75-54 win. 

The win moves the Conquistadors to 6-0 on the season marking the best start to a season since the 2015-16 season as the Conqs now turn their focus to KJCCC action.

The third quarter was all Conqs blasting Arizona Western 21-2 going on a 16-0 run to open the second half as it took nearly six minutes into the second half for Arizona Western to score their first points of the half. The big third quarter propelled the Conqs to the 75-54 win to warp up non-conference play. 

Conqs again shot over 40% shooting 42.2% from the floor while draining 14-pointers and went 7-7 from the free throw line.
