They might be feeling deja-vu: they lost 73-26 to Franklin Pierce, which was the same score (and result) they got the week prior. While losing is never fun, the Cruisers can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Washington basketball rankings (they are ranked 365th, while the Cardinals are ranked 139th).
