Playing their 4th game in 7 days the Lady Storm traveled to Superior, WI on Monday evening to take on non-conference opponent UW-Superior in women's basketball action.  With limited numbers, illness and fatigue playing a major factor the UW-Superior YellowJackets took it to the Lady Storm early and often jumping out to a 25-5 lead 8 minutes into the game and never looking back in a 102-37 route of the Lady Storm.  With a deep bench, 15 players played and all but one player played at least 13 minutes, the YellowJackets used their depth to wear down the Crown College women to take a 50-17 lead into halftime.  The YellowJackets went on a 14-2 run to begin the second half and put any hope of a comeback to rest for the evening.  Every member of the UW-Superior team scored at least one point and four starters tallied 11 points each to lead a balanced attack.  The YellowJackets shot 51% for the game and out rebounded the Lady Storm 51-23 while forcing 20 turnovers.  For the Lady Storm junior forward Stephanie Zroka (Elk River, Minn/Rivers Christian) scored13 points on 6-10 shooting including 1-2 from three point range.  Also scoring in double figures for Crown was sophomore forward Mary DeVries (Chester, MT/Chester) who notched 14 points and 7 rebounds in 22 minutes of action.  The Storm look to finish up the season at home this weekend as they host two UMAC opponents in Presentation College and UM - Morris on Friday and Saturday looking for their first conference win of the season.
