MERCERSBURG, Pa. - For a tactic that James Buchanan coach Becky Miller doesn't like to employ, the zone defense turned out to be the spark that lit the fuse for the Rockets on Friday night.

While Miller isn't a fan of using the zone, it proved to be a valuable strategy as the Rockets held the Kaydettes to just 14 points over the final three quarters to notch a 59-32 Mid-Penn Capital victory.
