Coach Lindsey Siegel gathers junior varsity and varsity to give a pep talk in a team huddle before the match. Although the match was non-conference, the undefeated varsity team hoped to pull out with the win.

On Wednesday, Jan. 19, the undefeated LHS girls’ varsity bowling won 8-1 in a non-conference match against Antioch. During the first game, led by junior Mabelle Kosowski who bowled a 203, Libertyville tied with Antioch, with each team racking up 807 points. This is a rare occurrence, so both teams were rewarded with one point instead of the two points usually awarded for a win. The Wildcats were able to pull through with the overall win, however, with an 819-735 win in the second game and a 328-323 win through a solid performance in two baker games. The win in the second game was led by junior Hannah Flemming (with a score of 172) and senior Quincy Delude (171 points). With two more in-conference duel matches to go, the girls hope to earn the back-to-back title at the North Suburban Conference championship on Friday, Jan. 28.
