North Platte – The North Platte Community College Lady Knights basketball team will take their three game winning streak on the road to play Fort Carson Army Base and Northwest Kansas Tech this weekend.

Originally the Lady Knights were scheduled to play Air Force Prep on Friday Jan 29 and Fort Carson on Saturday Jan 30.  Air Force Prep is unable to field a team so the game was cancelled.
