Lady Tribunes capture eighth straight
Monroe picks up its 22nd win of the season.
SANBORN, NY - Dionne Coe scored a game-high 24 points as the MCC women's basketball team earned a 64-50 road victory over Niagara County Community College Thursday evening.
The win was the eighth in a row for the Lady Tribunes, who are now 22-3 on the season. Monroe hosts Erie CC at 1 p.m. Saturday on Monagan Court.
MCC took care of the ball with just nine turnovers while forcing the ThunderWolves into 25 miscues. That helped the potent Tribune transition game into gear on a night when the Tribunes struggled from the field otherwise.
Coe was a perfect 7-for-7 from the free throw line and also had six rebounds and four assists. Bailey Hixson added nine points and six boards, and Nubia Haynes chipped in with eight points, 13 rebounds, and three steals.
Tyra Jones tallied eight points, seven rebounds, and three blocks. MCC outrebounded Niagara 56-43 on the night.
