CEDAR RAPIDS -- For a large portion of the game, Cedar Rapids Xavier was Iowa City West's equal. At least.
But the Class 4A top-ranked Women of Troy book-ended the contest with two big surges and earned a 56-37 Mississippi Valley Conference girls' basketball victory Friday night at Ron Thillen Gymnasium.
West (8-0 overall, 5-0 MVC) started it with a 23-2 blitz. Then, after the eighth-rated Saints (8-2, 4-2) crept within seven points early in the third quarter, the Women of Troy closed with a 13-1 run to pull away.
