Women’s Basketball 

The Ocelots are sitting on top of the Michigan Community College Athletic Association (MCCAA) Eastern conference. On Feb. 12 after beating Wayne County Community College the Ocelots punched their ticket to the postseason. The team now has an impressive 11-4 record in conference play and 16-6 record overall as of Feb. 21. 

The Ocelots rose in the standings quickly after winning games against key divisional opponents. The team remains undefeated in the month of February and is now riding an 8 game win streak. The climb to the top hasn’t been easy for the Ocelots but the one thing that seemed to remain 

constant all season long was consistency. 

The Ocelots will look to carry their momentum into the postseason the first week in March with the NJCAA Great Lakes District B Tournament.
