Game 1: CCC 74 York JV 61

The Raiders held the Panthers to 18 first-half points and went on to hold a 35-18 halftime advantage.

The Raiders responded with a 14-6 run to open the fourth period and went on to post the 74-61 victory.

"I thought we came out strong in the first quarter and pushed the pace to get some easy buckets," said CCC head coach Kasi Stoltz. "We turned it over too much, but it helps when we got 25 offensive rebounds and got to the line 34 times. We just need to be a bit more efficient with our shots and free throws."

Nikie Nelson led the Raiders in scoring with 21 points while Madison Jelinek logged a double-double with 19 points and 14 rebounds. Amy Mitchell finished with 13 points.

Game 2: CCC 65 Hesston College 59

Hesston's five-point advantage held through the third as both teams tallied 14 points apiece for a 46-41 score. CCC took regained the lead at the 5:26 mark of the fourth period by outscoring Hesston 16-10 to take a 57-56 edge.

Four CCC players scored in double figures with Nelson leading the way with 16 points. Mitchell scored 13 points while Jelinek and Makenna Pelster each scored 11 points.

"I am real proud of the team effort," said Stoltz. "Both teams struggled to score at times, but I thought our defense was good throughout and limiting our turnovers was key. We gave up some buckets in transition when we couldn't score. In the third and fourth quarters, we really found our rhythm and got some big buckets from Amy Mitchell and Nikie Nelson."
