Willowbrook point guard Sophie Sullivan scored a career-high 30 points on Wednesday night, which normally would be a cause for celebration. Sullivan and her teammates were upstaged by Maine South forward Emily Pape, who tallied a career-high and school record 41 points to lead the visiting Hawks to a 71-67 victory.
"It is just little pieces that aren't there at times. We gave up a lot of offensive rebounds and they had a lot of second chances and third chances. Those types of things are what help you win or lose a game." Pape, whose previous career high had been 34 points earlier this year against Lincoln-Way West, broke Maine South's single-game scoring mark of 39, which current assistant coach Emmy Paiser set in 1991. Paiser and the rest of the Hawks were loudly cheering every basket Pape scored down the stretch.
"We tend to switch defenses a lot and go from a zone to a man and sometimes they can't tell what we're in right away and it kind of throws off their offense," Pape said."So I definitely think our defense was a huge part of that. "We were working with groups that don't play together all the time because of foul trouble," Willowbrook coach Terry Harrell said."So it wasn't just the pass, but knowing where your receiver is, knowing where the receiver is going.Even so, it was far from over. Maine South looked to be in command with a 66-56 lead following a putback by Pape with 1:26 left in the fourth quarter.
