Cleveland Community College women's basketball continued its undefeated tear through November with a dominant home win over Fayetteville Tech and a convincing road victory at Wake Tech, pushing the Yetis to 6–0 overall and 4–0 in Region 10 play.

Yetis Clamp Down in Second Half to Roll Past Fayetteville Tech

On November 21, the Yetis turned a tight first half into a blowout, using a huge third quarter to pull away for an 85–58 win over Fayetteville Technical CC at home.

Trailing 17–14 after the first quarter, Cleveland responded with a 26–14 second frame to take control, then completely broke the game open with a 24–4 third quarter. From there, the Yetis controlled the tempo on both ends, turning defense into offense and never allowing Fayetteville Tech to recover.

Jada Whitesides led the charge with 22 points, knocking down four threes and living at the free-throw line. Her perimeter shooting stretched the defense and helped ignite the second- and third-quarter runs.

Point guard Kari Lee nearly posted a double-double, finishing with 11 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, and 5 steals while running the offense and setting the tone defensively on the perimeter.

Forward De'Mya Phifer added 12 points on 6-of-10 shooting, along with 4 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 steals, giving the Yetis a steady interior scoring presence and activity on both ends. Sydnie Enste owned the glass with 9 rebounds and 8 points, while Kate Glover chipped in with 2 points, 4 steals, and disruptive defense in the passing lanes.

The bench was a major factor in the win.

• Juliana Ball poured in 10 points and hit a pair of threes.

• Isabella Childs provided toughness with 7 points and 7 rebounds.

• Haley Dalton made a big impact at the rim with 4 points, 3 rebounds, and four blocks, anchoring the paint defensively.

As a team, Cleveland finished with 21 assists and 20 steals, turning Fayetteville's miscues into transition points and showcasing the depth and pace that have fueled the undefeated start.

Fast Start at Wake Tech Keeps Streak Alive

Less than 24 hours later, the Yetis carried that momentum on the road, racing out to an early lead and never looking back in an 89–55 win at Wake Technical Community College on November 22.

Cleveland blitzed Wake Tech with a 30–12 opening quarter and led 55–27 at the half. The Yetis combined hot shooting from the perimeter with relentless defensive pressure, forcing 30 turnovers and holding Wake Tech to 31.0% shooting from the field and 25.0% from three.

Once again, Jada Whitesides paced the offense, dropping 23 points on 8-of-16 shooting, including four more three-pointers and a perfect 3-for-3 from the free-throw line. She continued to be a matchup problem on the wing, scoring both off the dribble and off the catch.

Kari Lee orchestrated another strong floor game, finishing with 6 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, and 3 steals. Her decision-making and tempo control helped the Yetis rack up 22 assists on 32 made field goals.

Kate Glover had one of her best offensive outings of the season, posting 13 points, 4 rebounds, and a steal while knocking down two threes. De'Mya Phifer added 5 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 steals, continuing to impact the game across multiple columns.

Off the bench, Cleveland's depth again made a statement:

• Kiya Shavers filled up the defensive stat sheet with 6 steals to go with 8 points and 5 rebounds.

• Juliana Ball contributed 7 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists.

• La'Tayshia Andrews added 4 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists, giving the Yetis another playmaker in the second unit.

• Isabella Childs battled on the glass with 8 rebounds and 4 points.

• Haley Dalton turned in another big rim-protecting performance, tallying 6 points, 4 rebounds, and four more blocks, making the paint a no-go zone for Wake Tech.

Cleveland knocked down 12 three-pointers in the win and once again dominated the hustle categories, turning their aggressive defense into consistent offense.

Undefeated and Building Momentum

With the weekend sweep, the Yetis sit at 6–0 overall and 4–0 in Region 10, riding a blend of balanced scoring, disruptive defense, and a deep rotation that keeps pressure on opponents for all four quarters.

Behind leaders like Whitesides, Lee, Phifer, Glover, and Enste—and a bench that continues to produce—Cleveland Community College has established itself as an early-season force. As the schedule moves deeper into conference play, the Yetis will look to keep their undefeated run alive and continue defending their home court and road performances with the same energy and focus that fueled these two decisive victories.
