Crusaders Put It All Together in Detroit-- Box Score
What began as an intriguing battle between two budding freshmen blossomed into a thorough team effort from the Crusaders Thursday night. Valpo manufactured a 74-68 victory over the Titans in Motor City thanks in part to three players finishing in double figures.
Freshman Dani Franklin (Cedar Rapids, Iowa/George Washington) racked up her third 20-point outpouring since December 30th while senior Jessica Carr (Arcadia, Ind./Hamilton Heights) had a perfect shooting night (3-3 FG, 2-2 3-pointers) as part of a 12-point contest.
Titan guard Rosanna Reynolds helped Detroit seize the first noticeable margin of the evening. Her jumper at the 12-minute mark put UDM ahead 14-7. The Crusaders utilized a balanced offensive onslaught over the next four minutes, countering with a 15-2 run. Freshman Anne Hamilton (Chanhassen, Minn./Minnetonka) tied the game at 16 apiece with a three from the right wing, and Franklin's first triple of the tilt put the Brown and Gold ahead 19-16. A Sharon Karungi (Kampala, Uganda/[Northern Oklahoma College]) jumper put a bow on top of the Crusader surge. Read more
