The Crusaders jumped out to a 7-2 first quarter lead three minutes into the game, and never looked back as those John Bapst fans in attendance enjoyed Senior Night or as some called it "Madi Night" as Madi Higgins was the lone Senior on the squad.

Bapst led 24-15 at the half time break, but their lead was cut to five points as the Raiders closed the score to 31-26 after the third quarter. An 8-2 run for the Crusaders with just 2:50 left in the game stretch their lead to 11 points at 39-28 on their way to their 11th win of the season.
