It had to end sometime, and it’s too bad it had to happen against Latin.  Playing in Loyola University’s Gentile Center, Latin came out firing and U-High looked stunned.  By the end of the first quarter the tally was 24-9 in favor of the bad guys.  U-high played just about even in the 2nd and 3rd quarter and then came storming back in the 4th.  Down 19 at the start the fourth, U-high cut it 4 points with 1:15 to go.  But the deficit was too much to over come.

It was a tough loss that snapped the ladies’ 16 game winning streak, their first loss since Nov. 21st.  The loss makes the girls’ record 18-3 and 8-1 in the ISL

Johanna Heineman-Pieper scored a career high 21 points in the effort, and Alexis Jenkins added 19.
