5 Chargers Hit Double Figures in Rout of South Suburban

GALESBURG — All 11 Carl Sandburg College women's basketball players scored and five reached double figures in the Chargers' 93-46 rout of South Suburban on Thursday at John Lewis Gym.

KEY MOMENT
Sandburg led wire to wire and used a big stretch to close the first quarter to pull away from the Bulldogs. Up 15-14, the Chargers (18-8) ended the first quarter by scoring 18 of the last 20 points for a 33-16 lead. Elly Bentley started the run with back-to-back buckets, and Gracie Sims contributed a three-point play.

 
SANDBURG STANDOUT
Sim totaled 13 points and seven rebounds as she reached double figures for the first time in 2024.

The outing was her first double-digit game since Dec. 21 at McHenry County.
