Buffalo Grove shocks Hersey

It’s all going north for Buffalo Grove.

The Bison won for the 14th time in their last 19 games and sophomore Bailey North struck for a career-high for a second straight night.

North, who had 19 on Thurday against Prospect, collected 22 points as BG stunned Mid-Suburban East champ Hersey 57-48 in the Huskies’ Ken Carter Gymnasium on Friday night.

Hersey (22-6, 9-1) battled foul trouble as four starters finished with 4 fouls, including all-stater Megan Rogowski who scored 30 points (six 3-pointers) in about 24 minutes of action.

BG (15-13, 7-3), which handed Hersey its only loss in the MSL East, finished second in the conference.

Andrea DiPrima, Emily Cho and KC Dunne each scored 11 points for the visitor while Alanna Zawlocki added 8.

Stefanie Mueller chipped in 15 for Hersey.

Prospect 37, Rolling Meadows 28: For the second straight night, Prospect (14-11, 6-4) held its opponent to a season-low point total and the Knights’ victory serves as their first three-game winning streak of the season.

“It was a total team effort right for the start,” said Prospect coach Martha Kelly. “I just think we came out with a lot more energy.”

Sophomore Michele Molini and Sarah Hunt led the visiting Knights with 8 points apiece while Christina Brucci added 7 and Jessica Petrovski 6.

“Jessica was big for us again in the fourth quarter,” Kelly said. “She hit two big jump shots down the stretch.”

Prospect was without senior guard Sarah Winans, who suffered a knee injury against Buffalo Grove the night before.

Meadows (17-10, 5-5) was led by freshmen Jackie Kemph (10 points) and Jenny Vliet (8).

“For the second straight night, we had absolutely no energy, no excitement,” said Mustangs coach Todd Hatfield. “It’s up to me to find an answer.”

Elk Grove 42, Wheeling 34: Sophomore Diamond Boyd (12 points) and senior Maggie Fries (11) led host Elk Grove (10-16, 2-8) in the MSL East.

Junior Kellie Kuzmanic clicked for a season and game-high 19 points for Wheeling (3-24, 1-9).

Hoffman Estates 45, Palatine 38: Jada Stotts surpassed 1,000 career points as the senior forward tossed in 18 for host Hoffman (17-8, 5-5).

Stotts, who now has 1,008 points, also grabbed 7 rebounds as did sophomore Becca Stoczynski.

Sophomore teammate Destinee Young had 14 points and 16 rebounds.

Palatine (7-17, 1-8) was led by sophomore Nia Pappas’ 17 points.

Schaumburg 55, Conant 52: Alyssa Saklak (16 points) and Amanda Kelly (13 points, three 3-pointers) led visiting Schaumburg (11-14, 3-6).

Alyssa Rawleigh (19 points, five 3-pointers), Lindsay Fillingim (13) and Kelly Lomas (13) led Conant (13-12, 2-8).

Maine West 55, Niles North 52: Playing in her fourth game back from a knee injury, sophomore Ashley Collins had 10 points and 11 rebounds for visiting Maine West in the CSL North.

The Warriors trailed by 14 in the first half but tied it at half when Amanda Hoye (11 points) hit one of her two 3-pointers.

The Warriors (10-18, 6-2) got the lead for good on a 3-point play by Megan John (12 points) early in the fourth quarter for a 46-45 lead.

Freshman Brittany Collins led the Warriors with 13 points and 8 rebounds while Katherine Kusner grabbed 7 rebounds with her 8 points.
