MILWAUKEE, Wisc. — Before the Peregrines had a chance to register their first basket of the contest, the Wolves already had an 11-0 lead.

When Jenny Britton (Lake Central) hit one of her three 3-pointers with seven minutes left in the first half, the Peregrines were within single digits, 29-20. But CCAC leading Cardinal Stritch (13-8 overall, 5-0 conference) closed out the half on a 21-10 run and placed the Peregrines (8-13, 2-3) in a 20-point hole.

ELGIN, Ill. — Trailing by 15 points with 2:03 left to play, two Peregrines heated up the offense and shaved off 12 points to pull to 78-75 with 43 seconds on the clock. Sophomores Jenny Britton (Lake Central) and Chrissy Lobodinski (Merrillville) combined for a dozen points in 70 seconds forcing the homecrowd to the edge of their seats in Saturday’s Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference game.
After a Judson timeout, the Peregrines were whistled for a foul sending Eagle Crystal Goodall to the line for a pair, which she hit for an 80-75 lead.
A Peregrine turnover and a missed field goal attempt put the ball back in Goodall’s hands with 15 seconds left, and the Peregrines put her at the line for two more free throws. She hit one giving the Eagles a six-point lead.
The Peregrines (8-11, 2-2) missed on their next attempt, but freshman Nicci Desimone (Elkhart Memorial) rebounded and found Stephaine Beck (Mishawaka) who drained a 3-pointer closing the gap to 81-78 with less than three seconds remaining.
