BRIDGEPORT - Potter-Dix ran away with the MAC Tournament Championship Saturday, rolling past rival Leyton 51-11 to capture its third straight MAC crown.
The Lady Coyotes held Leyton scoreless in the first period, and eight the second, on the way to a 33-8 halftime lead.
So tough was the Potter-Dix defense, that Leyton got off only two shots in the first quarter.
"Our defense is really coming together," said Potter-Dix Coach Jeff Einspahr. "It's kind of fun to watch."
The Lady Coyote defense results in a lot of scoring opportunities, and no one took advantage more than Audrey Juelfs, who notched 18 points to lead Potter-Dix scoring.
Even with that performance, Einspahr is equally happy with the remainder of his team's offense, with four other players contributing points to the total. Dawson Sharman had nine points, while Payge Hoffman, Trinity Langley and Alexus Rozelle had eight each.
Potter-Dix used another big win, 54-22, over Bayard to reach the final. Leyton reached the championship game with a 35-31 win over South Platte.
