This game was a low-scoring defensive grudge match like most were expecting coming into Friday night.
Newmarket controlled the pace of this game from the opening tap and in doing so allowed them to hold the lead for most of the contest.
Lena Nicholson could not be stopped, controlling the glass and getting easy over-the-top feeds from her teammates that turned into easy baskets.
The closest the Crusaders could get in the second half was 3, but Newmarket proved to be too much, and are heading to the Final Four to take on Groveton on Tuesday night.
