REC CENTER — National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics’ ninth-ranked Cardinal Stritch University used a three-point barrage in the second half to beat the Peregrines, 101-71, in the final regular season game for both squads. The Stritch victory also gave the Wolves a perfect 10-0 finish in Division II of the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference.
The Peregrines (7-23, 3-7 CCAC) had the lead for most of the first half, including a nine-point edge, 30-21. But a four-minute drought of offense late in the half gave the Wolves a seven-point lead at the intermission.
