The Rainy River Community College women's basketball team remained winless in the Minnesota College Athletic Conference's Northern Division on Wednesday night when the Voyageurs lost at Mesabi Range, 74-44.
"We struggle for offense," said RRCC head coach Dieter Humbert. "We get some pretty good looks (at the basket) and aren't knocking down our shots."
The Lady Norse outshot the Voyageurs from the field overall, 30-81 (37 percent) to 17-65 (26.2 percent), and also had a 57-34 advantage in rebounding.
Mesabi Range was led in scoring by Kendra Dallmann and Kathy Ostman with 12 points apiece, while Lavada Roberson added 11 points.
RRCC had no one score in double figures with Sarina Phrathep, Kurstyn Gordon and Nikeyia Jones having eight points apiece.
The loss dropped the Voyageurs' season record to 0-6 in the MCAC North and 6-12 overall. RRCC's next game is at home next Wednesday against Itasca.
With six conference games left halfway through the MCAC North schedule, Humbert said the Voyageurs need to win at least five of six to expect to finish in the top four and qualify for the region tournament.
