Lady Lions Move Up in Rankings

by Colby Simonsen on January 17, 2013

Ellendale, ND: The Lady Lions have been fighting hard this season to return to the NCCAA Women’s National Tournament like they did a year ago. They have been ranked for most of the 2012-2013 season, but now the Lady Lions have been moved up five spots in the top ten rankings following their good showing at the Assemblies of God Basketball Classic in Pennsylvania. Prior to last weekend the Lady Lions were ranked 10^th in the nation and even earlier in the season they were ranked as high as 7^th. The Lady Lions now see themselves ranked as one of the top five teams in the nation at 5^th. Congratulations to the Lady Lions and keep working hard!

The Lady Lions play two home games this weekend in the Ray Ulmer Fieldhouse so come check out and support the 5^th ranked team in the NCCAA. They play Friday night at 6pm against Dakota College Bottineau and Saturday afternoon against Lake Region State College at 2pm.
