Basketball Game Preview: Monsignor Scanlan Crusaders vs. Nazareth Kingsmen

For the first time this season, Monsignor Scanlan will have a chance to prove themselves in a conference matchup. They will look to defend their home court on Monday against the Nazareth Kingsmen at 6:00 p.m. Monsignor Scanlan will be strutting in after a win while Nazareth will be coming in after a defeat.

Last Sunday, Monsignor Scanlan earned a 50-43 victory over St. Mary's.

Meanwhile, Nazareth lost 65-41 to Etiwanda on Saturday. The Kingsmen have now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.

Monsignor Scanlan barely slipped by Nazareth in their previous matchup back in February, winning 65-64. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was the Kingsmen's Makylah Moore, who posted 25 points. Now that she won't be playing on Monday, will it be easier for the Crusaders to walk away with another win? There's only one way to find out.
