Minneapolis, Minn. — Crown women's basketball team won their first conference game of the season with a victory over the North Central Rams on Saturday. Crown outscored the Rams 25-9 in the fourth quarter to take away the lead and defeat North Central 65-57.

Senior Madison Stricklin had her season high of 14 points in the match, leading the Crown offense. She also had a team-high two blocks, pulled down three rebounds, and caused two turnovers. Fellow senior Desiree Davis also had a huge game, with eleven points, six rebounds, five assists, five steals and a block. Damonyka Roberts had her first game in double figures with ten points on eight shots and added six rebounds. Senior Andrea Besa had nine points and three steals in the game; Patricia Gibson had nine points as well, on four makes of her five shots and pulled down six rebounds. 

Crown wasn't particularly more efficient than the Rams, but forced so many second-chance opportunities, along with their 13 steals gave Crown enough chances to find the win for their first conference win in the past two years.

Crown now goes on break, with a set of conference matches lined up starting early January.
