SOUTH HOLLAND, ILL. - In a matchup of two teams desperate to end double-digit losing streaks, South Suburban College came out on top of Madison College by a 68-42 final in a Region 4 women's basketball game Tuesday night. Kayla Staveness, a sophomore guard, recorded her first career double-double with 26 points and 11 rebounds. The Bulldogs lead the WolfPack in the all-time series by a 2-0 tally.

Despite a back-and-forth start to the first quarter, South Suburban College (3-15) was able to build a 19-8 lead after the first quarter ended, and grew the advantage to 44-17 at the half. The second half played much more competitively, with the Bulldogs winning the third quarter by a 12-9 margin, and Madison College taking the final ten minutes with a 16-12 differential.

Staveness' 26 points mark her eighth game with 20 or more points as she was 8 for 26 overall and sank four 3-pointers for the fifth time this season. The Rio, Wisconsin, native also went 6 for 6 at the free throw line and ranks fourth in the nation in free throws made. The 11 rebounds tie for a career-high she established in November 2022.

The rest of the WolfPack scoring came from fellow sophomore guard Kaylee Anzalone with six points, and five points each by freshman Kialee Fox and sophomore Tazhia Aune.
