View from the Valley
Before classes even started this semester, our Lady Warriors basketball team was featured on ESPN+. NJCAA reached out to our Women's Head Coach, Luke Scheidecker, to congratulate his team on being the NJCAA Game of the Week. "The Lady Warriors have been a consistent force these past few seasons, this honor is a way for us to showcase our program and campus," Scheidecker said. The game, played on January 7th, was against Three Rivers Community College and was aired on ESPN+ (read about the game below). This honor allowed players to show off their abilities and stories with viewers across the nation. Of course, we owe a huge thanks to our Operations and Maintenance Team as well as our Information and Technology departments for getting everything set up for production day. We are extremely proud of all the Lady Warriors and Coach Scheidecker. GOING NATIONAL
WARRIORS DEFEAT RAIDERS 91-75 AND WAGNER BREAKS STANDING POINT RECORD
After a close fight in the first quarter, the second quarter began with a 27-19 Warriors lead. The Raiders started the second quarter by going a few scoring runs, putting them in a 34-32 advantage. As the Lady Warriors fought harder, the fans started to get louder. At the end of the first half, the Warriors had managed the fight off the Raiders, 43-38. After what could have only been a great pep talk in the locker room, the Warriors came out for the last half looking fresh. By the end of the game, the Wabash Valley Warriors (No.14) had taken down the Three Rivers Raiders (No.17) 91-75. With the stands packed, the victors ran across the floor flexing and thanking the spectators for their support. In addition to their victory, Shaulana Wagner, the 5 foot-10 sophomore guard from Detroit, set a new school single-game scoring record of 47 points, "They were packing it in, daring her to shoot jump shots," said Scheidecker in an interview following their victory. "She just cut them up and went for layups. An incredible performance." Wabash Valley improved to a 15-1 with and extended their home-court winning streak to 95 games. Three Rivers, riding a six-game winning streak, fell to 12-2.
