...grabbed 15 offensive rebounds. At the end of the first half, the Crusaders had nine offensive boards, while the Crimson had just 10 total and only two on the offensive end. MILLER TIME Despite his height disadvantage, reserve forward Miller still put a strong performance in relief of Harris, putting up solid defense against Clifford and Vander Baan in the middle of the first half and early in the second period.
