Chatting with the Coaches: Girls Basketball

MMC Notebook: Lancers Face Challenging Week
The Women’s basketball team (8-2) couldn’t start Great Plains Athletic conference play any tougher.

The Lancers face the top two ranked teams in NAIA Women’s Basketball, starting with #1 ranked Morningside College (11-0) on Wednesday and the #2 ranked Hastings College (8-1) on Saturday.

“The GPAC is extremely tough, add the fact that we open with the #1 ranked team nationally in our division in Morningside and the # 2 ranked team nationally in Hastings and we obviously could not start out any tougher,” Lancer coach Tom Schlimgen said.

Already battling a number of injuries and illnesses, the Lancers are facing their greatest challenges of the young season.

Having already defeated nationally ranked Black Hills State University (Nov. 10, 60-44) at home, the Lancers aren’t in completely unfamiliar waters. However it has not yet been to this degree.

Coach Schlimgen stressed the importance of playing at home and living up to their high expectations.

“We need to take pride in playing at home,” Schlimgen said. “If we want to be a contender in our conference, then we need to play like contenders.”

Against Morningside, the Lancers face a team that thrives on defensive pressure.

“Morningside is a very unique team. They all about zone defense and zone pressure in full court and half court,” Schlimgen said. “They try to create a lot of turnovers and want the game played fast.”

Their offense feeds off of turnovers. Not only are they strong in the post, but they can shoot well and dribble drive if necessary.

Coach Schlimgen said they are a coach’s nightmare.
