Almost 11 months after losing to Cisco College in a triple-overtime heartbreaker, the Blinn College women’s team exacted a measure of revenge with a dominant 80-61 non-conference road victory over the Wranglers Thursday in Cisco.
“It was a good road win,” Blinn head coach Jeff Jenkins said. “Our three returners lost in Cisco last season in three overtimes, so I am glad they got a win.”
This time around, the Buccaneers quickly erased any need for overtime. Blinn led 14-10 after the first quarter, 35-26 at the half, and took a commanding 64-40 cushion into the fourth period.
Freshman Hannah Humphrey paced Blinn with 14 points, freshman Skylar Barnes had 11, and freshmen Makayla Patterson and Tiffany Tullis tallied 10 apiece.

Telisha Brown finished with eight and freshman Amillion Fowler had seven. Mitchell, Jakoriah Long, and Allana Thompson each posted six.
Blinn moved to 8-0 on the season, while Cisco dropped to 2-3.
The Buccaneers return home Saturday to take part in one half of a Blinn basketball doubleheader at the Kruse Center.
The women’s team will host Ranger College at 2 p.m. before the Buccaneer men’s team faces McLennan Community College at 4 p.m.
