The Red Raven women's basketball team took care of business Wednesday night in Nellis Hall and defeated the Thunderbirds of Cloud County 72-64.

The Red Ravens extended their overall season record to 15-6 and their KJCCC conference record to 14-4, good for third in the conference.

Coffeyville jumped out of the gate early earning a 23-20 first quarter lead.  However, Cloud answered in the second quarter and the teams were tied 34-34 at halftime.

The Red Ravens won the third quarter by five and the fourth quarter by three to earn the eight point victory, 72-64.

Coffeyville (35%) was actually out shot by Cloud (41%) in the game, but timely offensive rebounds (18) for the Red Ravens combined with ten more free throw attempts was the difference in the game.
