Girls basketball/Fox Valley roundup

McHenry 54, Jacobs 33: With over 70 percent of their points, and 80 percent of their baskets, coming from behind the 3-point line, and led by Alyssa Lach, the Golden Eagles (4-17, 2-6) looked to get their struggling offense going at home in the Fox Valley Conference Valley Division game. Unfortunately for Jacobs, the Warriors’ defense was ready for the attack, holding Jacobs to just 4 points inside the arc and, under 40 points for the ninth time this year. Lach had 8 points in the game thanks to a pair of 3s in the fourth, while Nita Williams and Tiffany Frighetto both finished with 6 points.
