Jefferson was handed a 38-point defeat in their previous outing, but that didn't affect their clutch gene on Tuesday. They had just enough and edged the Arvada Bulldogs out 45-43. The Saints have seen this before: they got the W the last time they saw the Bulldogs, too.
T Nutter was her usual excellent self, dropping a double-double on 17 points and 14 boards. Liz Benally was another key player, putting up nine points along with eight rebounds and three steals.
Despite the loss, Arvada had strong showings from Amiah Picaso, who dropped a double-double on ten points and ten boards, and Taylor Dye, who posted eight points in addition to five rebounds and three steals. Dye is on a roll when it comes to steals, as she's now grabbed two or more in the last five games she's played. Alyssa Moreno also deserves some recognition as she posted her first assist of the season.
