Conant stays hot, tops Viator

Conant’s girls basketball team won for the fourth time in five games as the Cougars posted a 53-35 nonconference win over visiting St. Viator on Saturday afternoon in Hoffman Estates.

Sarah Mazurek (9 points, 5 assists, 2 rebounds), Jorie Wachal (8 points, 2 rebounds), Katie Lomas (7 points, 2 rebounds), Alissa Wachal (6 points, 4 rebounds), DeeDee Durr (6 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists) and Nireet Dhillon (5 points, 3 rebounds) were top contributors for the Cougars, who are 4-4.

Classmates Hailey Dammeier (9 points), Hannah Dobrowski (8 points, all at the free throw line) and Lani Greenberg (7 points) were the other top scorers for the visiting Wildcats.
