Lehman sets school mark as Lakes wins

Senior guard Taylor Lehman picked up her school-record fourth charge of the season, and Lakes' girls basketball team outlasted visiting Mundelein 31-27 in a nonconference game on Monday night.

Sara Smith had 9 points, 12 rebounds and 5 steals for the Eagles (8-10). Mia Edwards added 8 points, 8 rebounds and 5 steals.

"We played well on the defensive end of the court," Lakes coach Brian Phelan said. "We hunted the paint well tonight on the offense. We need to finish around rim more efficiently moving forward. A good home win tonight vs. a good Mundelein team that battled all night."

Mundelein fell to 6-13.

Wauconda 55, Carmel 47: Allie Tylka had 24 points, 12 rebounds, 4 steals and 3 assists, as the host Bulldogs held on for the nonconference win.

Kiley Szmajda had 10 points and 8 rebounds, and Mackenzie Arden added 10 points and 7 boards for Wauconda (14-3), which ran its winning streak to five games. The Bulldogs led 29-21 at halftime and pushed their advantage to 19 points in the third quarter. Carmel (6-11) stormed back in the fourth, but Wauconda hit free throws down the stretch to secure its win.

"We learned some good lessons in game management tonight that will hopefully help us in the long run," Bulldogs coach Jaime Dennis said.

Jessie Pakaski chipped in 8 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 steals for Wauconda.

"She had an even better defensive game," Dennis said of her freshman guard. "She does such a nice job on defense being aggressive and having active hands. She breaks up a lot of plays."

Caitlin Teehan led Carmel with 20 points. Katie Lach had 11.
