Playing their first game in nearly two weeks, the Helias Lady Crusaders struggled to consistently get anything going on the offensive end Saturday afternoon in a 42-33 loss to the St. James Lady Tigers at Rackers Fieldhouse in Jefferson City.

The Lady Crusaders turned the ball over 26 times in the game, with many of the unforced variety.
