The No. 13 ranked KCKCC women’s basketball team has had one of its best starts to the season in a long time.

After defeating University of Saint Mary junior varsity on Tuesday night and Tabor University junior varsity Wednesday night, the Blue Devils sit at 7-0 to start the year. On Tuesday evening the Blue Devils defeated the Spires 93-44 before defeating the BlueJays 61-42 one night later.

The Blue Devils have had key players who have stepped up this season, but this week it was reigning KJCCC Women’s Basketball Co-Player of the Week Jada Johnson and T’Yonne Duncan.

On Tuesday, the Spires got off to an 18-10 run to begin the first quarter. Rebecca Christodoulo scored five straight points in the period to put the team in double-digits.

The Blue Devils went up by 20 points with 4:02 left in the second quarter and eventually led 50-21 at the break. The Blue Devils stayed hot in the second half, nearly missing the century mark with the 93-44 win.

Christodoulo led the team with 17 points, Jada Johnson pitched in 16 and T’Yonne Duncan added 13. Duncan also grabbed a team-high six rebounds and the Blue Devils shot 47.1 percent from the field.

On Wednesday, the Blue Devils faced off against the BlueJays and had no trouble running past them. Both Johnson and Duncan scored in double-figures with 23 points and 17, while Victoria Jones had six points.

KCKCC will look to continue its long run with its toughest match yet this season when it takes on No. 3 ranked CCBC-Essex on Saturday at 1 p.m. inside the KCKCC Fieldhouse.
