Milestone for Ashley Reiser as Antioch tops Wauconda

Antioch's girls basketball team maintained first place in the North Suburban Prairie race by handling Wauconda 55-43 on Wednesday.

And in protecting their league lead, the Sequoits also made it a night to remember for junior guard Ashley Reiser.

She led Antioch with 18 points and reached a career milestone at about the midpoint of the fourth quarter, when she scored her 1,000th career point.

Reiser also finished with 10 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 steals.

Erika Gallimore (14 points, 6 rebounds) and Alexis Duehr (13 points, 4 assists, three 3s) also had big games for Antioch (20-4, 9-0).

Top producers for Wauconda (11-9, 3-5) were junior center Katie Rossetti (18 points) and freshman forward Allie Tylka (8 points).

"We played one of our best halves of basketball," said Wauconda coach Jaime Dennis, "did exactly what we wanted to do defensively and passed the ball well offensively. Unfortunately in the second half we went away from the things that made us successful in the first. A few defensive letdowns, and the game changed quickly. Antioch turned up the intensity in the second and we couldn't match it."
