Coach Mark Frailey says his Palatine team is still “getting a feel for what (it) can and can’t do.” After her performance Tuesday night, junior Karen Hagberg may be the exception to that thought.
Hagberg, a 6-foot-4-inch center who helped lead Palatine to a third-place finish in the Class AA state volleyball finals last month, scored 15 of her game-high 22 points during a 26-0 run that gave Palatine (3-3) control in its 53-34 victory over host Rolling Meadows (4-1).
“If we can get Karen the ball in a good spot, she is very tough to beat,” Frailey said of Hagberg, who added 18 rebounds and four blocks. “She played a complete game and really dominated.”
Rolling Meadows was in charge early, jumping to a 10-7 lead early in the first quarter and 19-12 with 4 minutes 51 seconds remaining in the second quarter. Hagberg and teammate Gina Ferrara, who scored eight of her 14 points during the rally, then sparked the decisive run.
Ellen Ryan led Rolling Meadows with 17 points.
