It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Sheridan had no problem doing just that on Saturday. They breezed past the Lewis Cass Kings to the tune of 60-23. The Blackhawks have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won 18 matches by 20 points or more this season.
Sheridan's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Nova Cross led the charge by going 5-for-7 en route to 13 points and five boards. Cross is also on a roll when it comes to shooting accuracy, as she's posted one of at least 50% in the last four games she's played. Kenzie Garner was another key player, almost dropping a double-double with 13 points and nine assists.
Sheridan was working as a unit and finished the game with 21 assists. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Lewis Cass only racked up four assists.
