Lyle-Pacelli sophomore Abby Bollingberg picked a good time to go on a scoring spree.
With Randolph (10-5 overall) putting some heavy pressure on the Athletics, Bollingberg finished with a career-high 32 points to lead LP to a 64-54 win on the road.

The Athletics (11-2 overall, 8-0 SEC) have now won 72 straight conference games, but this one was closer than most. Randolph was within 51-50 with five minutes to play when Bollingberg hit two straight three-pointers and finished a three-point play to make it 60-50 LP with three minutes left in the game.
“”We definitely got tested tonight on the road. We were undisciplined in sloppy in the first half. We made some halftime adjustments and locked down defensively in the second half,” LP head coach Justin Morris said. “Abigail Bollingberg is playing at an incredible level right now. She is one of the most dynamic scorers we’ve had. She’s a great kid and has worked hard for the success.”
LP 41 23 — 64
Randolph 40 14 — 54
LP scoring: Abby Bollingberg, 32; Brooke Walter, 9; Kristi Fett, 8; Bethany Strouf, 7; Olviia Christianson, 3; Caitlin Roberts, 3; Kendal Truckenmiller, 2
