The Gillette College (12-9, 5-3) women played pretty well on defense, according to Head Coach Will Rider, but the offense struggled at key places in the game against Sheridan (19-2, 7-1). The Lady Generals came away with the win, 75-61.

The major difference between the two teams was Sheridan’s opportunities at the free throw line. The Lady Generals made 22 of their 31 shots from the charity stripe. Gillette College shot 70.6 percent from the line, but that was 12 points out of only 17 attempts.


Both teams struggled from behind the arc, as the Pronghorns made only one trey and three for Sheridan. Gillette College had more steals and blocks than the Sheridan defense, however, the Lady Generals had more board than the Pronghorns. Finally, two-pointers were close. Gillette made 24 of them, one less than Sheridan.


In the men’s game, the Pronghorns (13-8, 4-4) lost their fourth game in a row, as the Generals topped them, 81-67.


The Pronghorn women take on the Air Force Academy Prep School on Friday at the South Campus. Both the men and women host the Dawson Community College squads at the South Campus on Saturday.
