ACCC women claim win at McPherson

MCPHERSON — Although Allen County Community College’s women didn’t go undefeated in their final four non-conference games, they came close.
The Red Devils ended up going 3 of 4 with a 74-66 victory Saturday over host McPherson College’s junior varsity. Allen County’s women go into Christmas break at 5-7.
“We played a pretty challenging schedule to date and while we are in no way satisfied with the overall record, we are pleased with the progress we’ve made,” said Mark James, ACCC women’s head coach.
Allen County came back from a 36-34 halftime deficit against McPherson Saturday. The Red Devils outscored McPherson 40-30 in the second half for the win.
Rackell Goldson posted a double-double with 11 points and 12 rebounds for ACCC. Brittney Redmond scored 13 points, had six rebounds and four assists.
Miracle Davis and Endesha Flanigan each chipped in with 11 points. Davis dished out nine assists and made four assists.
Ebonie Jones added nine points and Maggie Stithem had seven. Jamie Peel scored five points while Kayla Morton had four and Hannah Blackwell had three points.
“Winning three of our last four games is something we can build off of and a sign of things to come for our young team,” James said.
“The Jayhawk East will be extremely competitive yet again this season. The schedule makers didn’t do us any favors as we go on the road for the first three games of conference. If we put forth the type of effort we’ve shown so far this season, I like our chances against anybody.”
