Girls basketball: Fox Valley roundup Saturday, Feb. 7

Jacobs 40, Libertyville 29: The Golden Eagles overcame a 19-15 halftime deficit by outscoring the Wildcats 11-2 in the third quarter at the BMO Harris Bradley Center in Milwaukee.

Sophomore guard Carly Sidor led Jacobs (10-15) with 14 points, including a pair of 3-pointers, senior guard Jessica Powell finished with 9 points and Senior Jenni Barnec added 8.

"Our kids enjoyed the environment and rose to the challenge," third-year Jacobs coach Joe Benoit said. "Libertyville's got a nice team this year. Their size I thought was going to be a problem for us, but we really picked it up on the defensive end. To hold a team in the twenties? That's going to give you a chance most nights. Great effort."

Senior Becky Deichl had 6 points and sophomore Claire Keefe added 5 points for Libertyville (15-10).

Bartlett 48, Waubonsie Valley 39: Kaitlin Brohan scored 15 points and had 7 rebounds, 4 steals and 3 assists as the Hawks (18-8, 11-2) won in the Upstate Eight Valley. Nina Pavell added 8 points for Bartlett, while Lauren Janczak had 6 points and 6 assists.
