The MATC women’s Stormers basketball team finished the season with a 16-14 (.533) record overall, and a 7-5 (.583) record for inter-conference play.

The Lady Stormers were able to finish with a winning record despite getting off to a rocky start. They managed to turn things around and went on a nine-game winning streak near the end of the season.

They finished ninth overall in team points per game, scoring nearly 72 points per contest. Stormers finished in the top 10 in total rebounds per game, averaging 49.5 boards per game. The defense was not shy of success either. They placed 13th overall in both steals per game and blocks per game. They averaged 12.3 steals, and 4.3 blocks per game.

Moriah Begin led the team in points per game with 19.8. Begin also led the team in steals and assists, averaging four each per game.

Tara Jefferson was the rebounder leader, averaging 8.9 boards per game.

The Lady Stormers have a lot to improve on for next season, but should be very proud of what they were able to accomplish this season.  Congratulations to Coach Jeff Lorenz on a great season.
