The game between North Central Missouri College and Southwestern Community College was an intense matchup. NCMC emerged victorious with a final score of 85-73.  With the win, the Pirates moved to 3-1 for the season with their next game being a neutral site showdown with National Park College in the KCKCC Classic.  That game is set for Friday in Kansas City, MO.
