Ottawa 64, Oak Forest 25: At Kingman Gymnasium, Pirates senior Marlie Orlandi sank seven 3-pointers on the way to a game-high 25 points to help lead her team to the win over the Bengals.

Ottawa (12-4), which led 19-4 after one quarter and 45-12 at halftime, shot 53.2% (25 of 47) and a solid 46.4% (13 of 28) from beyond the arc.

Skylar Dorsey had nine points, Ella Schmitz eight points and four rebounds, and Mary Stisser seven points, six assists and three steals for the hosts.

Amboy 41, Somonauk/Leland 39: At Amboy, the Bobcats fell just short against the Clippers.

Abby Hohmann and Kiley Mason each had 16 points to lead S/L.

“It was great game back and forth all night long,” S/L coach Jason Zaleski said. “Unfortunately, we went cold for about four minutes in the third quarter and couldn’t retake the lead. This might have been our most complete game of the season, but I think I can speak for the entire team when I say we are not here for moral victories anymore. It’s time for us to start winning these close games against tough opponents.”
