Ashley Reiser and Amy Reiser each scored 10 points, and Antioch's girls basketball team stretched its winning streak to 20 games with a 52-26 win over visiting Round Lake in North Suburban Prairie Division action Saturday night.
Coupled with North Chicago's loss to Lakes on Saturday, Antioch clinched a share of the NSC Prairie title and berth in the conference championship game.

Lakes 43, North Chicago 40: The Eagles stunned the visiting Warhawks, who were without guard T.T. Maggett.

Ellie Haviland led the hosts with 14 points.
"Ellie played a great game tonight," Lakes coach Pete Schneider said. "She is understanding that it is not only her scoring but her being able to control the tempo and take care of the ball that is just as important. Ellie has been helping shape the team all year with her effort and skills."
Lakes' Izzy Quaranta grabbed 12 rebounds, while Natalie Pawlak (7 points) and Olivia Pawlak (6 points) added 9 and 6 boards, respectively. Natalie Iacopetti chipped in 6 points. Alyssa Brey provided good defense.
"She will get the floor burn award," Schneider said. "What great heart Alyssa shows.
"We have been working on getting 'tougher,' and by that I mean mentally tougher and always working hard," Schneider added. "Tonight that was accomplished. I'm very proud of the kids. North Chicago always plays hard and tonight was no exception."
