With a playoff game on the line, the Leuzinger Olympians rose to the challenge on Thursday. They narrowly escaped with a win as the squad sidled past the Mustangs 62-60. The high-scoring effort was just what Leuzinger needed considering they were shutout in their previous zero contest.
Leuzinger's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Madison Watts led the charge by scoring 29 points along with five rebounds and five steals. Watts is on a roll when it comes to points, as she's now scored 23 or more in the last four games she's played.
