ROCKFORD — Things weren’t running very smoothly on the offensive end for the Lady Hubs varsity basketball team Monday night.
That’s when Jacie Wyatt took matters into her own hands.
The junior forward scored 14 of her season-high and team-high 20 points in the first half, and her effort helped propel Rochelle to a 66-44 victory over the Harvard Hornets in the IHSA Class 3A Regional at Rockford Lutheran High School.
“I think this win is a big confidence booster for us,” Wyatt said after the game. “Hopefully we can bring the same energy and effectiveness that we had tonight into our game on Wednesday.”
“A lot of my rhythm came from my teammates and them helping me get open,” Wyatt said. “I think just working as a team mostly contributed to my points tonight.”
The Hornets found several driving lanes in the first half, but there weren’t many in the second half, as the Lady Hubs ramped up their press and forced a handful of Harvard turnovers. By the end of the third quarter Rochelle had taken control of the game with a 52-36 lead.
