Freshman Christie Wade (#11) scored eight points, making 2-of-3 from long range in the loss
Box Score The campus of Capital University has traditionally been unkind to the John Carroll women's basketball team, and that trend continued Saturday afternoon as the Crusaders turned an 11-point halftime lead into a 76-54 win.
Playing without starting point guard
Erin Mog, John Carroll committed 28 turnovers and could only connect on 18-of-52 field goals (34.6%) in the game. Capital converted the Blue Streak miscues into 21 points off turnovers while giving the ball away just eight times.
JCU won the rebounding battle, 45-40, and was excellent from the free throw line (13-of-14), but could not slow down Stacy Timmerman (21 points) or the host Crusaders.
