About this Article

Less than 65 seconds into Friday's West Suburban Conference Gold game, Leyden's girls basketball team found itself trailing 8-0 visiting Morton. "That did make things tough," said Eagles senior guard Victoria Galizia, who will play for North Central College next season. "Right away, the momentum went into Morton's hands." The Mustangs increased the lead to 10-0 with 5:37 left in the first quarter and never looked back while recording a 50-34 triumph.
