LUBBOCK, Texas - The No. 22 Harford women's basketball (27-3) dropped its NJCAA National Tournament opener on Tuesday afternoon, ending the greatest season in program history. The Fighting Owls ran into a buzzsaw in the No. 11 seed Northwest Florida State, falling 93-77.

The Fighting Owls fell victim to the bigger Raiders lineup and were dominated in the paint and on the glass. The game seemed to get away from the underdogs in the final five minutes of the first half when NWF went on a 17-3 run to take a 50-39 lead into the break. 

The Raiders opened the second half making 6-of-8 field goals to keep the lead double figures even though Harford came out just as hot. The Fighting Owls shot 53.9 percent from the floor in the quarter, but turned the ball over seven times that led to easy buckets for the Raiders.

Daisa Harris led all scorers with 23 points while tallying five rebounds, five assists and five steals. Mia Fitts fought through an internal injury to play 36 minutes and score 19 points. Janessa Fauntroy recorded a double-double with 12 points and a dozen rebounds. Darra Walker also chipped in 12 points in her final Harford contest.

Fitts ended her career littering the Fighting Owl record book. The three-year leader ranks fourth with 974 career points and third with 102 career triples.

The Fighting Owls 2015-16 season will go down in history as the first program to reach the NJCAA Division I National Tournament. Head coach Mike Seney led the team to the MD JUCO regular season title, a perfect 12-0 conference mark, back-to-back MD JUCO Tournament Titles, the third-straight NJCAA Region XX Championship and the school's first NJCAA District C Championship. Seney earned NJCAA District C Coach of the Year and MD JUCO Co-Coach of the Year.
