Second Home Loss For Plainswomen

Sterling, Colo...

Earlier in the week, Northeastern women's basketball hosted Eastern Wyoming College at the Bank of Colorado Event Center for just their third home game of the season.  The Plainswomen have spent the majority of their season on the road and playing in various tournaments.  This game marked the last home game before the winter break.  Coming up next for NJC is a quick trip up to play the CSU women's club team at 4pm on Saturday, December 4th.  Moving on after that competition will be another tournament where Northeastern will play three more games before break at the Laramie County Community College Classic in Cheyenne.  All three games will feature matchups with Wyoming colleges.
