Tabor Topples Warriors in KCAC Clash

Hillsboro, Kan. – The Lady Warriors ran into a tough foe Wednesday night against the Tabor College Bluejays. Tabor is fighting for the number one seed in the KCAC while Sterling is trying not to be on the outside looking in on the KCAC postseason tournament.

The third quarter gave them a little hope as they outscored Tabor by three and cut the lead to 7 heading into the final frame. Both teams had their best offense at the end of the game as Tabor outscored Sterling 23-20 in the fourth quarter giving them the ten point win.
