After a first-round exit in the NVC Tournament, the lady Broncos had a week off of games until they met up with Boyd County in Stuart. After a close first half, the lady Broncos got out-scored 11-2 in the third quarter and that would end up being the difference in the ball game. The lady Broncos fell 44-31. They were led by Sarah Wallinger who had 10 points and two rebounds. Sydney Estill wasn't far behind with seven points, three rebounds and a team high five assists. Reagan Stracke had two threes in the game. Lacey Paxton had five points and three rebounds for the lady Broncos.

On Thursday, the lady Broncos traveled to Ainsworth to take on the lady Bulldogs. The lady Broncos lost 69-41.

Addison Steinhauser led the way with 12 points and seven rebounds; Sarah Wallinger and Reagan Stracke had eight points each. Sydney Estill had seven points and four rebounds and Lacey Paxton had a team leading five assists.
