Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only Ash Fork walked away with it. They took their game on Thursday with ease, bagging a 54-14 victory over the Grand Canyon Phantoms. The Spartans have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won 13 contests by 22 points or more this season.
It was another big night for Isabella Acosta, who dropped a double-double with 17 points and 13 steals. Ash Fork is 15-4 when Acosta posts five or more steals, but 2-5 otherwise. Another player making a difference was Crystal Nixon, who posted seven points in addition to nine rebounds and seven steals.
Ash Fork smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 27 offensive boards. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Grand Canyon only six offensive rebounds.
Ash Fork is on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 17-9 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 22.7 points over those games. This is the second loss in a row for Grand Canyon and nudges their season record down to 10-13.
Ash Fork wasted no time getting back out on the court and has already played their next game, a 38-33 loss against Salome on the 17th. Grand Canyon does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
