One Time Only (this week)
Women's Basketball plays in its only game of the week, hosting Central Oklahoma in the first of three straight home games for the Jets.
Last Time Out
After a tough loss in St. Joesph to Missouri Western, the Jets headed an hour up the road to Maryville on Saturday to take on another tough opponent in Northwest Missouri State.
Freshmen
Jaeden McMillin returned to the lineup, and while doing so scored 16 points in the process. Her presence was missed in a few games leading up to the game with the Bearcats and has continued to show as freshman that she can produce.
The Jets had a solid run in the last five minutes of the game, but it was unfortunately out of hand by that point. The Bearcats boast one of the best defenses in the country and it certainly gave the Jets some problems in their last road game of January.
