The Lady Raiders hosted the Chase County Lady Longhorns on Friday, and a tough battle betwen the teams ended in a last second defeat for the Lady Raiders.

Sidney traveled down to Sterling, Colo., to take on the Lady Tigers, and quickly came out and started to dominate the home team. Strong drives by senior Nicole Birner and great inside play by seniors Mattie Johnson and Kendra Nesbitt built up a Sidney lead going into the half. Sidney's lock-down defense was too much for the Lady Tigers, as the strong play by junior Karly Sylvester inside forced the Lady Tigers to launch long distance shots with little success. Sidney went on to win the game 57-to-25, moving their season record to 2-and-3 on the year.
