CROCKER COACH RICH MUELLER SAID “We are not doing a good job of taking care of the ball or finishing at the rim. We have missed way too many wide open shots and layups. On the other hand our defense has been pretty tough. We are going to have to find a way to score the basketball!”
CLAIR AFFOLTER LED NEWBURG WITH 18..NONE IN DOUBLES FOR CROCKER, BUT
MEGAN BECKER AND KENNEDY KILLIAN BOTH HAD 8.
