Spartans defeat Raider women, 76-60

FERGUS FALLS -- Bobbi Van Wechel's game-high 25 points weren't enough as the Central Lakes College Raiders women's basketball team lost to Fergus Falls 76-60 Saturday.

"We played our best second half of the season," Raiders coach Dennis Eastman said. "The bad part is we also played our worst first half."

Kaylee Bandemer dropped in 16 points to help CLC's cause. Megan Eastman contributed 12 as the Raiders fell to 0-6 overall.

"I'm starting to see a little light at the end of the tunnel," Dennis Eastman said. "We need to be more constant."

CLC hosts Rochester 6 p.m. Friday and Riverland 1 p.m. Saturday.

"We have another full week of practice," Dennis Eastman said. "If we can improve as much as we did this week the wins are within reach.
