Jenny Britton (Lake Central) led the Peregrines in scoring for the third consecutive game with 14 points, including four 3-pointers. The sophomore was 4-of-9 (44 percent) from the 3-point stripe, eight percentage points higher than her season average. She is the Peregrines second leading scorer averaging 12.3 points per game.
Freshman Nicci Desimone (Elkhart Memorial) finished with 12 points, including a pair of 3-pointers, and had two assists in the loss. Desimone is averaging 6.9 points per game in her first season with the Peregrines. (more…)
