WILKES-BARRE - Jen Wozniak makes the most of her time on the court. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 And after a sluggish first half Saturday by King's College in the finals of
the 2002 Patient Care Lady Monarch Classic, Wozniak gave the Lady Monarchs the
spark they needed. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The junior forward scored nine points and pulled down six rebounds in just
seven minutes of the second half, as King's pulled away for a 75-52 victory
over Salisbury University at Scandlon Gymnasium. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 In the consolation game, Susquehanna edged Rowan, 83-81. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 The victory improved the Lady Monarchs, ranked fifth nationally in Division
III, to 11-0. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 ``I just wanted to go in and make an impact and try to pull the team up,''
Wozniak said. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 The former Wyoming Area standout did just that, earning all-tournament
honors with team-highs of 15 points and 10 boards in 15 minutes. Teammate Fran
Monte (12 points, six rebounds) also made the squad. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Carissa Ryan and Nikki Kingston also hit double digits for the Lady
Monarchs, scoring 11 and 10 points, respectively. Salisbury (9-2) was led by
Amy Campion's 18 points. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Wozniak's offensive production was complemented by a stifling man-to-man
defense, which created six turnovers in a two-minute span in the second half
to help the Lady Monarchs pull away. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 ``Our defense was tremendous, and that sparks our offense,'' Wozniak said. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 ``We did some great things on defense,'' said King's coach Bryan Whitten.
``We played to our level in the second half.'' &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Trailing 40-37 early in the second half, King's took control with a 13-2
run. Jennie Orelli led the charge with consecutive three-pointers, and a
12-foot hook shot by Wozniak gave the Lady Monarchs a 50-42 lead with 11:59
remaining. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Three minutes later, King's began a 10-0 run that put the game out of
reach. A pair of Wozniak layups, followed by four free throws from Katie
Bowes, gave the Lady Monarchs a 65-48 lead with 5:28 left. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 ``We wanted this win because (Salisbury) really wanted to beat us,''
Wozniak said. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 The Lady Monarchs played from behind for the majority of the first half.
Trailing 18-10, Wozniak brought King's to within three with a put-back,
followed by a three-point play. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Salisbury boosted its lead to 33-26 with 2:42 left in the half, but the
Lady Monarchs closed out with seven consecutive points. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
