The MCC Rebel Girls opened their week at home on Monday night facing the Hills Beaver Creek Patriots. The Patriots beat the Rebels soundly earlier this season on the road in a game in which the Rebels had more turnovers than points scored.

The Panthers are 21-2 on the season heading into the game against the Rebels who were looking for the biggest upset in school history. That wouldn’t happen.
