San Diego City outrebounded the Olympians, 52-33, and had a 20-7 advantage on second chance points.
The Knights now turn their attention towards first place Southwestern whom they will face on Friday at 7 p.m. in Chula Vista. City lost the first matchup against the Jaguars, 91-85, on January 3. A win on Friday would not only avenge that home loss, but also put them in a first place tie with five games remaining.
