Lady Knights Win At Madison Grant

After a solid opening 4 minutes to lead 7-2, the LadyKnights would finish the half with a lackluster performance. A few too many careless turnovers and poor rebounding would allow Mad-Grant to close that gap and trail by only 1 at half. A hot-hand for the Argylls would hit 2 quick 3-pointers to build a 5 point lead halfway through the 3rd period before the LadyKnights would take command of the game. The Knights would finish the game on a 22-5 run that included holding M-G without a field goal for the final 11 minutes of play. And after a bit of a sloppy first half, the Knights only had 5 turnovers in the 2nd half to help seal the victory.
