Grand Rapids, MI – At and even 3-3 in MCCAA West play, GRCC’s women’s basketball team is looking to move to over .500 following tonight against Lansing Community College’s Stars following a rough 87-111 loss to Jackson Community College on Wednesday night.

The Raiders, 5-10 overall, lie in the middle of the pack of the Western Conference and face each of the top teams in the conference in the coming weeks allowing ample time to climb the ranks of the western conference.

Lansing’s Stars visit Grand Rapids with a 14-4 overall record while 4-2 in the MCCAA West with conference losses coming by way of Jackson and Kalamazoo Valley Community Colleges.

The Star’s consistent play leaves them just shy or second place in the MCCAA West behind Kalamazoo Valley at 6-1 and Lake Michigan, 6-0.

Thus far in 2011 the Raiders are led in scoring by the duo of Stephanie Stevens and Kayla Rosinski who combine for an average of 24 points per game.

Lansing’s scoring leaders—LaTonya Shade and Carli Reid—combine for an average of 25 per game.

Both teams have short rosters and contributions from the bench often tip the scales enough to deliver a win.

GRCC’s women’s game tips off at 5:30PM in the Hunsburger Arena inside the Ford Fieldhouse.
