Lady Patriot Beth Warnken’s double figure scoring effort, which included two 3-pointers, would not be enough to overcome SAB’s Holsenback and Minichan last Tuesday. Early points by the Crusaders sent the ladies to intermission with Wardlaw trailing 20 to 5. The Patriots came out swinging in the third quarter and stayed neck and neck with SAB in the second half unfortunately unable to close the first half gap.
