LCC took a 19-0 point lead at the outset and went on to smash the Raiders 86-48 at Myklebust Gym.

Not only did the Red Devils cruise to the victory, but they learned that Centralia lost which put LCC alone in first place at 8-2.

Emily Packham had 12 points and Kenya Lorton added 10.

Jerri Maluyo had a solid floor game with eight points, five rebounds, seven assists and three steals.
