Raiders doomed by cold shooting

GRAND RAPIDS - Becky Skiba scored 20 points and grabbed 14 rebounds for the Central Lakes College Raiders as they were defeated by the Itasca Vikings 72-60 in North Division women's basketball Tuesday.

Jayme Reed added 16 points and six rebounds for the Raiders. Stacey Butler chipped in with 13 points, nine coming from behind the arc, for CLC.

"We had our chances but our shots didn't go down and when you shoot 29 percent and they shoot 41 percent you don't win much," Raiders coach Dennis Eastman said.

Brandi Cresap had five assists for the Raiders, who are 5-3 in division play.

Central Lakes 28 32 - 60
