Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but unfortunately for the Delphi Community Oracles, they weren't the ones who walked away with it. They were the victim of a tough 45-22 defeat at the hands of the Knights on Saturday. The result shouldn't come as a shock considering that's the fewest points Delphi Community has scored all season.

When it comes to explaining why Delphi Community lost, one person who can't be blamed is Jenna Roth. Despite the final result, she scored 13 points along with four steals. Roth hasn't dropped below three steals for seven straight games.
