TC outscored WA 17-0 which provided a comfortable lead heading into the fourth quarter.

Lady Trojans continue their winning ways

With the last game before the Christmas break, the Lady Trojans from Timothy Christian came out determined to keep their win streak alive. In playing Riverside-Brookfield, TC knew that they were going to have to play a good game in order to beat the Bulldogs. After an initial slow start at the beginning of the game, TC finished with the first quarter much better by taking a 14-8 advantage. With some nice ball movement and finishing touches around the rim the Lady Trojans took a 14 point lead into the half, 28-14. R-B responded with a little run themselves and cut the lead down to six at one point, but a couple of buckets by the Lady Trojans righted the ship and they were able to get the win, 45-35. Tessa Bosman led the way this evening by scoring 12 points, followed by Cassidy Block (9 points, 11 rebounds, 5 steals, 3 assists) Jordyn Platt (6 points, 5 assists, 2 steals, 5 rebounds) Anna Wondergem (6 points, 6 rebounds, 3 steals) Kari LeGrand (5 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists) Stephanie Kuiper (5 points, 3 rebounds) and Jessica Dirkse (2 points, 1 big block). The Lady Trojans are off for a while with their next game not until Dec. 27 at the Lisle Tournament.

Solid Win for TC

The Lady Trojans were once again back in action against another familiar foe, Illiana Christian. With playing Chicago Christian earlier in the week, this game against Illiana was part of a pretty cool rivalry amongst the schools. Much like the Chicago Christian game, defense was the name of the game. TC came out with a focus to be relentless on the defensive front and it showed by holding Illiana to nine first half points. That mentality carried over to the second half and that was the holding force in the win. With a balanced attack offensively, the Lady Trojans took the game by a score of 37-25. Kari LeGrand (9 points, 2 steals) Stephanie Kuiper (8 points, 2 rebounds) Cassidy Block (7 points, 6 assists) Tessa Bosman (6 points 4 rebounds) Jessica Dirkse (3 points) Anna Wondergem (3 steals) Jordyn Platt (4 assists, 4 rebounds) all contributed to the win. Jordyn also led the charge in playing some great defense that was infectious to everyone.

Thanks for the great fan support this evening. Hope to see you out there again next Thursday.

The Lady Trojans play again on Saturday vs. Ridgewood at 1:30pm. The game will be played at Ridgewood.

Lady Trojans get the Win

Last night, the Lady Trojans traveled to Chicago Christian to take part in a five game extravaganza. In being the fourth game of the night, TC would end up making this game a heart stopper. After battling to a pretty even game after three quarters, the girls took a lead of six with about a minute to go. After consecutive turnovers on the Lady Trojans part, Chicago Christian capitalized and cut the lead down to two. With eight seconds to play, a shot was attempted, but thankfully it was missed and TC escaped with the win 34-32. Kari LeGrand led Timothy with 11 points, 5 rebounds and 4 steals. Cassidy Block (8 points, 4 steals, 5 blocks) Tessa Bosman (6 points, 4 rebounds) Jessica Dirkse (2 points) Shelly Ditchfield (4 points, 2 assists)Jordyn Platt (3 points, 2 assists, 2 steals) and Anna Wondergem (3 rebounds, 2 blocks) all helped lead a balanced attack. It was a fun and exciting night in which Timothy took 4 out of 5 games....Go TC!!

The Lady Trojans now host Illiana Christian on Thursday at 7:00pm. Make plans now to come out and support the girls in the early season conference match-up.

With a better second quarter the lead was cut to 7 at halftime. With a quick steal by Jordyn Platt the lead was down to five, however that would end up being the closet TC would get.

TC falls to Glenbard South

The Lady Trojans were unable to overcome the full court pressure and mental mistakes as Glenbard South pulled away for a comfortable win, 55-38. Once again the team showed tremendous effort and battled very diligently, but in the end the costly errors were too much to come back from. With a dynamic duo, the Raiders from Glenbard South out muscled their way inside and converted some easy buckets. It was another great learning experience for the Lady Trojans as they continue to form their identity in this early part of the season. Tessa Bosman led the way with 11 points and Cassidy Block chipped in 10 points, 5 reb, 3 assists and 3 steals. Other team members on the night included: Jordyn Platt (5 reb, 2 assists) Anna Wondergem (4 points) Shelly Ditchfield (4 points, 3 reb).
