As for the boys, Oswego pushed to slow the pace to a crawl.
“We wanted to play fast, so it felt like we were stuck in mud all night long,” Crest head coach Travis Herrmeck said. “Offensively, we were a little sluggish, but I was pleased with our defensive effort. We rebounded the ball very well and did a good job forcing tough shots and limiting them to only one shot, both things we had been struggling with at that end of the floor.”
Crest led 11-3 after one quarter, 14-7 at halftime and 40-21 after three. The Lancers then ended the game on a 15-4 run.
