ELGIN, Ill. — The Peregrines trailed by only seven, 37-30, at the half. But a 26-9 run to open the second 20 minutes of action put the game on ice for the home team in an 81-61 win for the Eagles in the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference match-up.
A layup by Peregrine point guard Meme Harris (Merrillville) two minutes into the second half brought her squad to within seven, 41-34, but the offense stalled for the next five-plus minutes.

PALOS HEIGHTS, Ill. — Senior co-captain Linsey Smith (Lake Central) hit a 12-foot jumper bringing the Peregrines to within six points with 5:30 left to play. But the offense stalled for the next three-plus minutes and the Trolls went on a 12-2 run leading to the 81-69 win in the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference Division II opener for the Peregrines (3-16, 0-1 CCAC).
After Smith’s field goal, Trinity Christian College’s Amanda Learned, the team’s leading scorer with 12.5 per game, drilled a 3-pointer for a nine point advantage. Peregrine head coach Tom Megyesi called a timeout to avoid a deeper hole, but the Trolls (8-11, 1-1) scored nine more points before PUC sophomore forward Sara Keilman hit a layup to stop the run.
