DVC Girls Basketball takes us to Naperville Central as the Redhawks host the Metea Valley Mustangs. The Redhawks are soaring, having won 6 straight, and Head Coach Andrew Nussbaum earned his 700th career victory last week.
The Mustangs are still looking for their first DVC victory of the season; however, they come in with momentum after their win against South Elgin last week. This highlight is sponsored by BMO Harris Bank.
Central gets off to a quick start over Metea.

Here Callie Tumilty gets the rock from Erin Hackett and shoots for the long two-pointer, which finally falls after a couple of lucky bounces.

Central, though keeps their foot on the gas. Natalie Jordan receives the pass from Megan Norkett at the top of the key and drives to the paint finishing off the glass.
It’s Trinity Jones’s world, and we’re just living in it. She does it all here, blocking the shot, grabbing the steal, and taking it to the other end to finish at the rim. Central goes into halftime in control, leading 40-24.
