The Game: This was the tightest match since the FACS/Marion conflagration earlier this season. The score was tied going into the Lightning Round (each team capitalizing on 3 of 8 bonuses), and neither team really took control of the last round. The match decision probably came down to sheer volume as much as anything, with Westminster guessing 15 times in the final frame (and getting 6 right — four from D.J.) and Immaculate Conception ringing in only 9 times (and getting 3 right — all from captain Katie).
