The Lady Cats took the floor last Friday meeting the Lady Bulldogs from Appleton City. The opening tip goes from Kendrick to Hocker and the Lady Cats later work the ball to Kendrick for 2 with an assist from Freeman. Unfortunately that is the only scoring for Drexel as their shooting is ice cold making one field goal in 20 attempts in the first quarter. This fiasco finds the underdog Lady Bulldogs leading after one by an 8 to 2 margin.

On Tuesday, February 23rd, the Lady Whirlwinds of Archie hosted the Lady Bobcats. There was no scoring in this very slow starting game until Archie goes to the line for their 4th free throw attempt being successful in 2 of the 4 at the 5:24 mark of the first quarter. Finally Drexel gets on the board when Kendrick gets a put back. Good defense by the Lady Cats holds the Lady Winds to only one field goal in the first quarter, but the shooting was not good for Drexel as they also make only one field goal in 6 tries and find themselves trailing 4-2 after one.
