The Crusaders defeated visiting St. Xavier 54-29 for Moeller's 11th consecutive win this season. Moeller outscored St. X 25-6 in the third quarter.

Senior Noah George scored a game-high 14 points to go along with three rebounds, two blocks and two assists for Moeller. Junior Alex Kazanecki added 12 points and eight rebounds. Senior Eric Mahaffey had nine points, six rebounds and two assists.
