Madonna Takes On Rochester in WHAC Battle

LIVONIA, Mich. - Coming off of their heartbreaking loss against Cornerstone, the Crusaders returned to the court to take on the Warriors of Rochester University. The Crusaders fought to the end, but they were not able to overcome the Warriors' hyper-aggressive defense, falling 101-58.

HOW IT HAPPENED:

Rochester's defense came out incredibly aggressive, making it difficult for the Crusaders to get any momentum early with a full-court press. They jumped ahead with an early lead 26-11 at the end of the first quarter. Delani Robinson and Marcela Rodriguez did their best to keep the Crusaders in the game: Robinson with 10 points in the first half and Rodriguez with nine. Both players also shot a perfect 100% from three in the first half. Despite their outstanding performances, Rochester would still keep a comfortable 51-30 lead going into halftime. The second half proved to be more of the same as the Warriors ran away with the lead, winning 101-58.

INSIDE THE NUMBERS:
 
  • Robinson led the team in scoring with 16 points.
  • Rodriguez recorded 13 points and led the team in rebounds with six.
  • Ashley Hill also scored 13 points for the Crusaders.

UP NEXT:

The Crusaders will return to ACCU Arena to take on the Saints of Siena Heights University on Wednesday, January 25th.
