Nine sophomores were honored in their final home regular season games of their CCC careers. They were Tabitha Cooney, Myah Essman, Addison Heule, Addison Kudron, Brianne Lawver, Paxton Lusche, McKinna Moats, Andrea Palma and Sasha Perrin.

"I'm extremely happy for the sophomores who played their last game at Raider Field in front of a ton of family, friends and fans to go out on a positive note," said CCC head coach Caitlin Simon.

The Raiders are 20-13 on the season and will return to action on Friday with a pair of road games at Southwestern Community College in Creston, Iowa. Game times are set for 1 and 3 p.m.
