Plymouth – Ancilla almost led from start to finish, but it took until the fourth quarter before they could build a big advantage. The Lady Chargers (10-9, 4-4 MCCAA) beat Grand Rapids (12-7, 3-5 MCCAA) 83-70 Monday in a Michigan Community College Athletic Association game at the LifePlex in Plymouth.

Camryn Kopka set a new record for three-pointers made in a season when she hit her 60th of the season in the first quarter. Two plays later she sprained her ankle and sat the rest of the game. The record of 59 had been held by Hope Wagner from the 2013-14 season.
