GALESBURG, ILL. - The scoring totals keep rising and wins keep coming for the Madison College women's basketball team, who picked up an 80-76 road win over Carl Sandburg College in a Region contest on Saturday. Taylor Ripp's double-double and Kaylee Anzalone's long range shooting helped the WolfPack to their fifth consecutive win, which is their longest win streak since the 2018-19 season. The victory also evened the all-time series with the Chargers at 5-5.

Anzalone's first 3-pointer of the day started a 7-0 run for Madison College, which led 11-5 midway through the first quarter. The differential was down to one heading into the second quarter. Carl Sandburg College (2-4) took the lead before the half with an 11-1 surge, and continued to build to an eight-point advantage before the Pack closed to within 37-34 at the break.

A pair of Anzalone triples sandwiched around a Cora Hansen jumper to start the second half regained the lead for the WolfPack, and they never looked back. Despite the Chargers closing to within on a few occasions, Madison College outscored the home team by a 26-18 margin in the third quarter. The differential grew as high as nine in the fourth quarter, and the Pack held off CSC thanks to converting 3 for 4 free throws in the final minute.

Ripp, a guard from Lodi, Wisconsin, registered her second double-double of the season with 22 points and a career-high 14 rebounds. The sophomore was 9 of 17 overall and 4 for 9 at the stripe. She also added two blocks, an assist, and a steal.

Anzalone, a native of Elkhorn, Wisconsin, became the fifth player since 2014 to make five 3-pointers in a single game en route to a career-high 21 points. She was 5 for 8 from distance as part of an 8 for 12 effort overall. The first year guard added three steals and two rebounds.
