Gugliotta Notches Double-Double in Chargers’ Loss to WolfPack

GALESBURG — Elly Bentley had a season-high in scoring and Sophia Gugliotta put up a double-double, but Madison held on to defeat the Carl Sandburg College women's basketball team 80-76 on Saturday afternoon at John Lewis Gymnasium.

KEY MOMENTS
• Tied at 28 in the second quarter, the Chargers (2-4) scored 9 of the next 10 to take the lead, and they went into halftime up 37-34. Bentley started the stretch with a pair of mid-range jumpers, and she fed Lily Hudgins for a bucket.
• The WolfPack scored eight straight to open the second half and never trailed again. A pair of Kaylee Anzalone 3-pointers bookended the 8-0 run.
• Sandburg trailed by nine in the fourth quarter at 68-59, but the Chargers were able to get within 72-69 after a Gracie Sims layup with 3:10 to play. That was the first of three times Sandburg closed its deficit to three points in the closing minutes, but Madison was able to close out the victory.

SANDBURG STANDOUT
Gugliotta, coming off an 18-rebound effort Thursday at DuPage, had 14 points and a team-best 12 boards to post her first double-double as a Charger. She finished 6 of 11 from the field and had four of her rebounds on the offensive end.
