The girls trailed the Bearcats 11-8 early and were competitive throughout the contest but saw the lead grow each quarter of a 51-28 non conference loss.
Senior Caitlyn Baily paced the Pioneer attack with nine points, sophomore Jaylyn Cline added eight in defeat.
Saturday faced the Hays/Lodge Pole Thunderbirds in a conference clash that saw the Pioneers match the Thunderbirds step for step at times in the contest.
