In their season opener, the Lady Macks (1-0, 0-0 Western Cloverbelt Conference) traveled over an hour to the east to face the Warriors (1-1, 0-0 Cloverbelt - East), who got the better of McDonell twice on their way to an undefeated regular season in 2022-23.
After an early three point deficit, the Lady Macks began to settle in offensively, but had to withstand a barrage of threes from the hot shooting Warriors, who came within a single basket at the break.
In the second half, the Lady Macks found offense from a few more places and, despite foul trouble, slowly pulled away from the home team to tally their first victory of the season.
