CHANDLER, Ariz. -- Carroll College saved its best for last. 

Four Saints (10-3) set or tied career highs and No. 8 CC dominated No. 12 Our Lady of the Lake 76-55 on Friday during the final day of the Phoenix Frontier Classic. 

"For us to play like we did today against at team that is No. 2 in the nation in scoring at 93 points per game and hold them to 55 points was awesome," Saints coach Rachelle Sayers said. "I thought our kids were extremely focused and confident in our plan and how we wanted to attack their zones and presses and executed. It was a great win to go into our conference season."

Sophomore Christine Denny set a career high in points scored, navigating her way through traffic to score a game-high 22 points on 9-of-12 shooting. Redshirt sophomore Dani Wagner pulled down a career high 11 rebounds, sophomore point guard Jaidyn Lyman dished out a career-high eight assists and senior Brittney Johnson tied a career-high in three pointers made with seven. 

Carroll busted OLLU's press defense early on with a hot shooting stroke, led by Johnson. Carroll surged to a 27-8 lead after the first quarter. After two periods, Carroll led 39-14. 

Carroll kept its foot on the gas the rest of the way. 

OLLU, with all of its athleticism, couldn't solve the Saints. 

The warmer temperatures in Arizona didn't translate into hot shooting percentages for the Saints -- until Friday. 

The Saints shot under 40 percent in their opening two games before bursting through their slump to shoot 48 percent from the field and 42 percent from the three-point line on Friday. 

Only one member of OLLU posted double-digits in scoring, as Patience Okpe had 11 points. Carroll held OLLU to 29 percent from the field and 22 percent from the arc.  

Eleven Saints played against OLLU and eight scored. 

Carroll went 2-1 at the tournament, defeating the University of Science and Arts on Wednesday before losing to No. 14 Menlo on Thursday and then rebounding for a resounding finale on Friday.

"It was a huge week for us," Sayers said. "Four games in 5 days, traveling from Portland for one to Phoenix to play 3 teams, that all advanced in the National Tournament last year, was a great opportunity for our team.  I think we learned a lot about our team and what we are capable of.  We made huge strides in our ability to handle adversity and to play against teams who's strengths are actually our weaknesses.  I am really excited for these kids to have a nice break with their families before hitting conference. We have stepped it up in our preseason in preparation for our conference season.  We have played 3 Div I teams, an Elite 8 Div II team and 4 teams that were ranked in the NAIA National poll. I believe our team will be ready for the challenges and adversity at this conference season will possess.  We have the best conference in the NAIA and each night will require us to be at our best, there is no better way to prepare for this than to play the best."  

Carroll helped the Frontier Conference represent itself well at the tournament. 14 games, with one to play late Friday, Frontier teams combined for a 10-4 record. 

The Saints take on Montana Tech in the PE Center on Dec. 29.
