On Saturday, March 6th the Lady Golden Rams basketball team of Anoka-Ramsey Community College (ARCC) beat Minneapolis Community and Technical College (MCTC). Not only did they beat them on Saturday, but ARCC won all three games against the MCTC team. This win secured ARCC to first place in the MCAC Southern Division. Furthermore, according to the NJCAA national poll, the Lady Golden Rams are one of the highest ranking teams in the country. So not only were these girls on fire Saturday night, but they’re blazing through this season.
As the game came to the end Saturday, the Lady Golden Rams defeated MCTC by four shy points, bringing the final score to 78-74. Two players took the spot light when it came to the victory ARCC had over MCTC. Freshman Mallory Cramer made some very vital shots, including two free throws that brought the game to a tie before overtime. Alex Moore also had a huge impact on Saturday’s win. This sophomore guard managed to rack up almost 20 points during the game, and half as many assists.
Although the women of MCTC towered over ARCC, their height advantage didn’t stop the Golden Rams. Sophomore Alyssa Silva and freshman Marie Hanson first got ARCC up on the board. The battle between teams was back and forth. ARCC showed that three point shots weren’t ever going out of style. However, fouls cluttered the game. Both teams received a fair share. By half time the score was 31-34, ARCC trailing three points.
ARCC wouldn’t back down, and kept up the fight. As MCTC missed their half court shot with the last seconds of the game draining away, the victory ARCC had was secured.
