The North Central Missouri College Lady Pirates headed for Kansas City International Airport on Thursday morning, for a flight to Miami, Florida, as Jenni Croy’s team plays two games before enjoying two days of rest and relaxation in the heat of South Florida.
On Friday night, the 8-3 Lady Pirates battle Miami-Dade Community College, before NCMC challenges Broward Community College on Saturday afternoon.
Just prior to arriving at KCI, Head Coach Jenni Croy spoke with Sports Director Tom Johnson. Â The interview will be aired at 5:35 Thursday night on KTTN FM 92.3:
The Lady Pirates, after losing in blowout fashion at defending national champion KCK on November 30th, rebounded with a second half rally at a 7 point home win over John Wood on Saturday. Â On the injury front, a North Central team already thin in numbers learned that sophomore forward Dasia Young suffered a complete tear of her anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in her knee in the first half of the KCK game. Â Young, a Kansas City native, will be out for the rest of the season. Â No other ligaments were damaged or torn, according to Coach Croy.
