Raiders Crush Eagles in 95-73 Domination

Knox Raiders dominated Diamond Valley Eagles 95-73 on Saturday evening at Diamond Valley Sports & Fitness Centre. The Raiders controlled the game behind stellar performances from Alicia Froling and Kiera Rowe, who each dropped 23 points. Rowe was perfect from beyond the arc, hitting all four of her three-point attempts while shooting an impressive 80 percent from the field overall. Knox's efficient offense produced 17 assists to just eight turnovers, a significant advantage over Diamond Valley's 19 giveaways. The visitors also capitalized at the charity stripe, converting 23 of 30 free throw attempts. The Eagles struggled to find their rhythm, connecting on just 37 percent of their field goals and a dismal 21 percent from three-point range. Abbey Ellis led all scorers with 26 points but couldn't prevent her team from falling behind by as many as 27 points. Diamond Valley did win the battle of the boards 52-37, including 24 offensive rebounds, but couldn't translate those second chances into consistent scoring. **KNOX RAIDERS 95 (Alicia Froling 23, Kiera Rowe 23, Leah Santomaggio 11).** **DIAMOND VALLEY EAGLES 73 (Abbey Ellis 26, Erin Riley 17, Tayha Watkins 11).** #NBL1South ?
