Lauren Wade led four Lady Jets in double figures in a 71-64 win over Western Thursday night on sophomore night.

NOC Enid (19-8) improved to 10-6 in OCAC play while Western (15-13) dropped to 8-8.

Coach Scott Morris commented on the persistence of the Lady Jets in 2020.

"I'm proud of this team's persistence," he said.  "They've handled a lot of adversity this season through injuries and juggling roles while we're searching for out identity.  It's a great group of girls who are willing to keep fighting for each other.  It's not always pretty but it has definitely bonded this team."

The Jets led 60-57 when they pulled away in the game's final few minutes.

Lauren Wade had a conventional 3-point play and Madelyn Hankin's short jumper gave the Jets a 65-57 lead with 2:40 left.

The Jets then made six free throws down the stretch to ice the 71-64 win.

Wade led the Jets with 17 points while Shelby Black added 14.  Tonijah Fortune and Taelor Parker added 10 each.

The Lady Jets will face Seminole March 4 at 8 p.m. in the NJCAA Region 2 post-season tournament.
