Sophomore guard Nora Ford broke the NCMC women's basketball career scoring mark on Saturday with a made free throw in the 1st quarter of the Lady Pirate's win over 7th ranked Lake Land College. Coming into the game, she needed just 3 points to set the mark and easily eclipsed it with her game high 22 points.
Ford broke the record previously held by Leigh Mead since 2005. She totaled 1,240 points in her career at North Central Missouri College.
Sixteen year Head Coach Jenni Croy had these comments on what Nora breaking the 18 year record and what she has meant to her program. "Nora has put in so much work during her time here as a Lady Pirate. She is in the gym working on her game outside of practice each and every day. It's exciting to see her hard work pay off for her! Not only is she now our all-time leading scorer she is also 2nd in career assists. This shows what an all-around player she is. She is what every coach desires to have as far as a point guard goes. She sets the tone with her work ethic and always has the best interest of our team at heart. She's really has made a mark on our NCMC women's basketball program."
