The Troubadours improve to 6-2 for the season.
Caitlyn Lee added another six points while leading the way with six assists, including three in St. Francis' 18-0 start in the first five minutes of play. Vicio scored seven in that run, sinking a corner three to start the contest, then dropping her second at the mid-point of the period to extend the lead to 15-0.
