REC CENTER — Holding a 23-18 lead midway through the first half, the Peregrines’ offense fell off as the Trojans went on a 22-9 run during a six-plus minute stretch. The offensive spark carried into the second half as the Trojans built a 19-point lead, but had to hold off a Peregrine comeback handing the home team the 88-76 loss in the Peregrines’ Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference home opener.
The Peregrines (7-10 overall, 1-1 CCAC) cut into the 19-point deficit during a 10-minute stretch and were within eight, 80-72, when junior Sara Keilman (Hammond Morton) got her ninth rebound of the game and hit the put-back for her fourth point. But PUC never got closer.
Point guard Meme Harris (Merrillville) registered her second double-double of the season scoring 15 points and dishing out a season-high 11 assists. The sophomore, who leads the team with five assists per game, more than doubled her assist-per-game average in the loss.
Sophomore Chrissy Lobodinski (Merrillville) also grabbed her second double-double of the season scoring 14 points on 7-of-11 from the field (63 percent), and she pulled down 14 rebounds and had a pair of steals. The forward leads the Peregrines averaging 8.3 rebounds per game, while averaging 10 points per game.
