A 20-point outing from Indian Creek’s Brooke Heiman proved too much for Hinckley-Big Rock as the Timberwolves won, 61-49, Tuesday night in Shabbona.
A silver lining for H-BR, however, was another strong performance from senior Tessa Prellberg. She scored 20 points in the loss and broke the school record for 3-pointers in a career by making her 140th as a Royal.
Ashleigh Wackerlin added 12 points in the loss, while Devin Warner scored eight.

Western Michigan 73, Northern Illinois 63: At DeKalb, NIU continued its rocky campaign with a Mid-American Conference loss at the Convocation Center to Western Michigan.
Despite a strong performance from guard Tyler Cochran, who scored a game-high 19 points, the Huskies never managed to find the push they needed in a game that saw them narrowly trail throughout.
