QUICK GAME RECAP: Crown did ok in the game until about the time they took the court. Then they were almost single-handedly dominated by Bethany Bauer, who finished the game with 31 points, 11 steals, and 9 assists, one assist shy of a triple double. Bethany wasn't the only important part of the game however. In the past couple games the Knights have employed a full-court trapping defense, which has helped them to force over 90 turnovers the past 3 games, including 36 against Crown. Those turnovers held Crown to just 42 total shots and aided in helping 12 of 14 Knights to score in the game. The Knights sprinted out to a 20-8 lead and led 45-20 at halftime. Things didn't slow down in the second half either as that 25 point lead bulged to a 38 point lead with Bauer's last steal and lay-up with 2:03 left in the game.
