Season in Review: Women's Basketball

The Lake Region State College women’s basketball team ended their season Saturday in the Region XIII Semi-Finals against North Dakota School of Science.

The Royals finished the season with a 20-12 record, improving on their 8-win season the year prior. The Royals were led in scoring by Tiziana Huici, Ray’ven Robinson and Kyla Fitzgerald, who averaged 15.4, 13.8 and 13.5 points per game, respectively. Tiziana Huici (249 total rebounds) and Iara Navarro (244 total rebounds) led the team in rebounding while Ray’ven Robinson led the team in assist (125 total assist).

Tiziana Huici was named to the MonDak first team all-conference, while Kyla Fitzgerald and Ray’ven Robinson were named to the second team.

The Royals had several highlights throughout the year, which included beating 2021-22 Final Four Team Western Nebraska and upsetting nationally ranked #21 NDSCS.

“Our program made massive progress this season. Although we did not reach our overall goal, we have a lot to be proud of. Throughout the season, all 10 players contributed, had big moments and performances. I look forward to growing on this with the returners and incoming freshman next season” says Clark.

Coach Clark on his sophomores, “I am going to miss coaching Tizi, Iara and Xarlotte. All three have demonstrated what it means to be a Royal Student-Athlete. These three have been excellent examples in our community, in the classroom and on the basketball court. I am grateful for their hard work and dedication to this program. This program is in a better place because of you three, and I am excited to see what comes next for them.”
