However, a 17-2 start to the second half saw Pride open up a commanding 20-point lead and they held their opponents to just seven points in the third.

Robb fired in a three to end the penultimate quarter and the hosts continued to pull away in the final 10 minutes with the lead peaking at 31 points.

Savannah Wilkinson had 16 points for the Crusaders as they drop to a 7-7 record.
