GALESBURG — Four players reached double figures for the Sandburg women's basketball team in Tuesday's 90-60 Arrowhead Conference win over Highland.
The Chargers (12-6, 2-0) won their third game in a row and for the sixth time in seven outings with the wire-to-wire blowout of the Cougars. Sandburg hit 11 3-pointers in the contest, its fifth straight game with double-digit 3s.
Freshman Hailey Redding delivered five of those triples as she scored a game-high 23 points. Redding was 8 of 12 overall from the field and hit 5 of 7 shots from beyond the arc. It was Redding's fourth 20-point game this season and her third in the last four contests.

Freshman Camryn Atterberg collected 12 points on 5-for-8 shooting and pulled in seven boards. Sophomore Tiera Hall finished with 10 points, nine rebounds and a team-high four assists to go with two steals.
Freshman Lajaya Angel came off the bench to lead Sandburg in rebounds with 10.
Leading 7-6 in the first quarter, the Chargers drained four straight 3s in under 2 minutes to go up 19-6. Redding connected on three of those treys, and sophomore Tyriunna Steele hit the other.
Sandburg took a 31-15 lead after the opening period and had a 50-32 advantage at halftime.
