It was the second game of the day, and the Galesburg Silver Streaks did a much better job, in defeating the Sullivan Redskins  64-31 in the second game of a double-header to open the Mattoon Holiday Tournament.

After struggling from the field and starting out 0 for their first 9, and leading 8-7 at the end of the first quarter, they led by a score of 28-21 at the end of the first half.  They outscored Sullivan 21-2 in the third quarter, and only gave up two baskets in the second half.  The Streaks shot 25 for 51 from the field for 49%, and they out-rebounded Sullivan 35-24.

Andrea Sampson led the Streaks with 12 points on four three-pointers.  Megan Lingafelter had nine points on three three-pointers, to go along with five rebounds, four assists, and a steal.  Yvonne Mixon and Chloe McCarthy both had eight points, and Lexie Tucker came off the bench with six points.

Sampson, Lingafelter, and Tucker are our Dave’s Autobody Crunch Time Players of the Game.
