We have a DVC girls basketball matchup with Waubonsie Valley looking to extend its winning streak as they host Naperville North. The Huskies look to rebound after they lost to St. Charles East on Monday, while the Warriors are on top of the DVC with a 4-0 conference record and are on a 13-game winning streak after edging out Neuqua Valley last week.

Waubonsie continues to dominate in the second
The Huskies try to get the offense clicking as Natalie Frempong takes on a couple of Warriors. She feeds it to Sydni Fink and she attacks the rim, getting a nice bounce to roll in. Huskies down 25-6 early in the second quarter.
The Huskies keep pushing as Kendall Johnson goes towards the rim but misses her shot. However, Ema Gilvydis snags it and sinks the layup for two. The Huskies trail 32-9.
The Huskies turn the ball over and Newton takes this one. She quickly dishes the ball to Nicole Douglas as the clock is about to run out and bang. She hits the trey as time expires and the Warriors take a commanding 35-9 lead going into halftime.
Huskies look to get the offense back on track
The Huskies look to get their offense back on track in the second half and they do with some nice passing here. Frempong drives down the lane and swings it to Ava Podkasik and she sinks the jumper for two.
It’s the Warriors’ turn this time as Laub dishes it to Danyella Mporokoso. She doesn’t have room to take the shot but finds Maya Pereda wide open. She drains the three from downtown for the Warriors to finish the third quarter with a big lead of 46-21.
Waubonsie Valley extends its winning streak to 14 games
Despite being down big the Huskies aren’t quitting and show that fighting spirit. Frempong floats this ball towards Johnson and her shot bounces off the glass and in. They trail 54-31.
Later in the fourth quarter, the Warriors turn the ball over. Frempong drives down toward the basket and gets the layup plus the foul.
