Lane Women's Basketball second in Coaches Poll
published February 15, 2012
After some impressive victories, The Lady Titans (19-4, 9-1) move from 5th into 2nd in the NWAACC Alaska Airlines Poll with 54 points, and 1 first-place vote. Columbia Basin continues to hold the top spot with 76 points and 6 first place votes. They are also second in the JOWARD Power Rankings. Howard records the following about the Titans' season thus far: "Like Columbia Basin, Lane hasn't lost in quite a while. Their streak goes back eight games, dating back to their loss at home to Chemeketa on January 14th. Since then they've had quite the run. They've had three games where they scored 98 points or more, and on all three occasions, they won by more than 45 points. Lane's biggest win by far was their 71-68 defeat of Clackamas (box) at home. Lane will travel to Oregon City to face Clackamas on February 18th in a game that will feature the two top scoring teams in the NWAACC, and a game in which the winner will most likely win the southern region's #1 seed in the league."
