Apaches fall short on the road at Arizona Western

YUMA, Ariz. --- The Cochise Women's Basketball team was looking to make a statement on the road, taking on the 17th-ranked Arizona Western College Matadors Wednesday evening. The Apaches were coming off of a lopsided win over Community Christian Saturday, while AWC was coming off of a lopsided victory against Yavapai College. 

The Matadors jumped out to an early 15-13 lead over Cochise after the first quarter, but the Apaches fought back in the second to head into the locker room down 31-33. Cochise took command in the third quarter, outscoring AWC 17-16, but fell short cooling off in the fourth to drop their second straight road game 70-55.

Sophomore guards Karolina Padilla and Micayla Silas lead the way for Cochise, each scoring 14 points. Sophomore Jessie Joaquim followed with eight points and 10 rebounds.
