QUINCY — Addison Eger (Mendon, Ill./Unity) continued her hot start to the season, but the Carl Sandburg College women’s basketball team dropped a pair of contests at the John Wood Classic over the weekend.
The Chargers lost 58-46 on Friday to the host Blazers before losing 65-43 on Saturday to Lake Land, the No. 4 team in NJCAA Division II.
Eger led all players with a season-high 25 points — just two off her career high — in Friday’s loss to John Wood. She finished 9 of 20 from the floor and grabbed a team-leading six rebounds. Kelsi Legge (Galesburg, Ill./Galesburg) added eight points and four boards for the Chargers against the Blazers.
Eger led Sandburg in scoring and rebounding again Saturday against Lake Land, collecting a game-best 20 points and pulling down six boards. The sophomore went 6 of 11 from the field and hit 8 of her 10 shots at the foul line.
