The Lady Mavs (4-5) improved to 3-0 in conference play.

"Good tough win for us," said coach Greg Krause. "It's a good way to go into Christmas Break before we start up again in January. I thought our team defense was an important part of getting a lead and then hanging on to it down the stretch."
Tuesday's game was the final game of the semester for the Lady Mavs. NOC is at Grayson College Jan. 3 in their next action.
