REC CENTER — Senior LaKeisha Hurst had her best collegiate performance, and sophomore Meme Harris had her best game of the season as the Peregrines won their fourth in a row beating NCAA Division II Saint Joseph’s College, 95-80.

Hurst (Dover, Del.), who missed a double-double by one rebound last Saturday, grabbed a career-best 15 rebounds and dropped in 17 points connecting on 7-of-12 (58 percent) from the field. The forward is averaging 6.6 rebounds and 8.1 points per game.

Harris (Merrillville), who leads the Peregrines averaging 3.5 assists per game, dished out a season-high 10 assists and scored 13 points in the win. The point guard is the team’s third leading scorer averaging 10.9 per game.

Four other Peregrines scored double digits in the win, and for the second straight game the starting unit carried a bulk of the offense scoring 73 of the 90 points Tuesday evening.

Chrissy Lobodinski (Merrillville) scored a season-high 17 hitting 5-for-8 from the field, and she grabbed seven rebounds. The sophomore leads the Peregrines averaging eight rebounds per game.

Jenny Britton (Lake Central) banged in 14 points, including 4-of-6 (66 percent) from the 3-point line. Britton is the team’s leading 3-point shooter hitting 43 percent of her attempts, and she is the second leading scorer averaging 12.7 per game.

Freshman Stephaine Beck (Mishawaka), the team’s scoring leader averaging 13.2 per game, finished with a dozen points. Off the bench, junior Sara Keilman (Hammond Morton) finished with 13 points hitting 5-of-8 (62 percent) from the floor.

With their fourth consecutive win and sixth of the season, the Peregrines (6-8) are within one win of matching their total of the 2007-08 campaign. Head coach Tom Megyesi attributes his squad’s recent success to team maturity.

“They’ve matured from last season, and players are understanding their roles and responsibilities,” Megyesi said. “We’re getting more baskets on the inside and we’re reducing our turnovers.

“And Meme is handling the offense better. She’s running the show.”
