Northeastern Junior College Plainswomen Basketball Face Tough Loss at Home

The first half was tough for the Plainswomen as they struggled to keep pace with the Thunderbirds, concluding the half with a score of NJC 14, New Mexico JC 43. Key players such as Daniela Garcia Gasco, DDC Player of the Game Yaly Ben Harush, and Rebekah Seggerman made significant efforts. Gasco and Ben Harush each grabbed 9 rebounds, showcasing strong defensive plays, while Seggerman added 2 assists to her tally.
