The final 10 days of the 2021-22 regular season will be busy as the Hutchinson Community College women's basketball team remains in the thick of the Jayhawk Conference title chase.

Just 48 hours before Monday's key road game at Northwest Tech, the Blue Dragons received a career night from freshman guard Mya Williams en route to an 86-75 win at Colby. Just 48 hours after Monday's game in Goodland - a 6:30 p.m. CT tipoff at Max Jones Fieldhouse - the Blue Dragons will play host to Seward County and one day later, the Dragons head to Goodland.

The Blue Dragons' victory over Colby extended Hutchinson's season-long win streak to nine games and pulled the Dragons to within 0.5 games of first-place Independence, which loss on Saturday at Pratt. Independence plays host to Dodge City on Monday.

Williams scored a career-high 37 points with a career-high-tying seven 3-pointers in the Blue Dragons' 11-point home win over Colby on Saturday. Williams tied for the fifth-highest single-game performance in Blue Dragon history with Amy Ansel (1995).

Over her last four games, the Jayhawk Conference's leading scorer has been on a tear. Williams is averaging 25.2 points while shooting 68.7 percent with 18 3-pointers.

The Blue Dragons take on a Northwest Tech team fighting for its postseason life as the season enters the final days. The Mavericks are 4-19 overall and are tied with Pratt for 12th at 2-17. Only the Top 12 teams advance to the Region VI Tournament.

The Mavericks are capable of an upset. Northwest Tech pulled off a 64-59 upset of fourth-place Garden City last Wednesday at Max Jones Fieldhouse. Natalie Lara had 20 points and Neylan Delicado added 17 points.

The Blue Dragons won the first game with Northwest Tech, defeating the Mavericks 74-42 on January 5 at the Sports Arena. The Dragons lead wire-to-wire with five players scoring in double figures led by Williams' 15 points. Mele Kailahi and Janaya Washington added 13 each. Moniek Merringa scored 15 points to lead with Northwest Tech.
