The Wingate Bears will take on the Crownpoint Eagles at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. Wingate is coming into the contest on a four-game losing streak.
For whatever reason, it's the away team that's had the advantage when Wingate and Crownpoint meet (two straight games heading into this one) and that held true again last Monday. Wingate fell 50-40 to Crownpoint.
Wingate better focus on containing Courtney Craig and Holly Jiron as the pair were huge in Crownpoint's win. Craig dropped a double-double with 12 points and 20 boards, while Jiron shot 47% from the field en route to 20 points and three steals. Jiron has become a key player for Crownpoint: the team is 7-3 when she posts at least three steals, but 6-11 otherwise. Another player making a difference was Arabela Balicat, who posted four points and four steals.
Crownpoint has traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 13-15 record this season. Wingate's loss dropped their record down to 14-13.
