LINDSBORG, Kansas --  NOC Enid used a balanced attack to beat Bethany (KS) 81-68 Sunday afternoon in Lindsborg, Kansas.

Lyndee Mikesell and JaNai Coleman each had 15 while Atiana Cook had 15 off the Lady Jets bench.  Laeticia Hardy added 14 and Noel Crabtree had 10.

Savannah King led the Lady Jets with nine rebounds and five assists.  

The Lady Jets shot 39% from the floor and 27% from 3-point range.  The Lady Jets shot 83% from the line (23-28)

NOC jumped out to a 23-14 lead after one quarter and played even with Bethany the rest of the way.

"The game was a little rough," said Lady Jets Michael Dominguez.  "It's good to still get a win on the road but I thought the game exposed some weaknesses that we need to address and the team realized there are areas we need to clean up.  Offensively, we would like to get more points off of assists rather than so many coming off of 1 on 1 scenarios and defensively we need to overhaul completely and make a much greater effort on that end of the floor."

On Wednesday, the Lady Jets are at Fort Scott at 5:30 p.m.

"Wednesday will be a big test for us as we play Fort Scott on the road," Dominguez said.  "Coach Stirgus and I coached together at SAU and she is a great coach and her teams are always very tough."
