“We've got a good pair of sophomores that I really hate to let go of,” Lady Norse head coach Jim Rowland said. “Unfortunately, that's the nature of our business and we're trying to stress to the team what's important.
“We have got to set our emotions aside and concentrate on these three remaining games,” Rowland said. “We're still very much in the hunt for the conference championship, but we have to focus on each game individually.”
Following a 66-55 win at Carl Albert State College on Monday, the Lady Norse are tied with 20th ranked Northern Oklahoma-Enid for second place with an 11-4 lead record and 18-7 overall.
