#23 Red Ravens Start Spring Semester with a 51-40 Loss at Barton

Great Bend, Kan. - In their worst shooting game of the season so far, The #23 NJCAA-ranked Coffeyville Community College Red Raven Women's Basketball Team opened up their spring semester with a 51-40 road loss at the hands of the Barton Cougars.  With the loss, the Red Ravens' overall record falls to 10-3 on the season including a 5-2 mark in Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference (KJCCC) games.

Coffeyville was led by sophomore Bailey Layman with 9 points and sophomore Jae'Mya Lyons with 8 points and 5 rebounds.

The Ravens will return to action on Saturday, January 6th with a home matchup against the Garden City Broncbusters.  Tip-off in Nellis Hall is scheduled for 2:00 p.m.
