The Riverside Brookfield girls basketball team made up for its loss to Timothy Christian last week by putting the hurt on Metro Suburban Conference foe Fenton and area-rival Lyons Township over the weekend.

The Bulldogs, whose record-setting win-streak ended at 17 games after falling to Timothy Christian 43-41 on Jan. 20, took their frustration out on Fenton Friday night with a 40-28 victory, followed by a 76-61 win over Lyons on Saturday.

“We practiced really well [after the loss to Timothy Christian] and it carried over to our games,” said RB coach Larry Rocco.

The host Bulldogs (19-1) blitzed Lyons with a full-court game led by 6-foot center Fallon Ryan. Sprinting down the court for fast-break points and low-post positioning, Ryan scored a game-high 24 points, 19 of which coming in the second half.

Leading 53-48 at the end of the third quarter, the Bulldogs outscored Lyons 23-13 in the fourth quarter.

“Fallon Ryan running the floor the way she did was the key for us,” Rocco said. “When she runs the floor, Rachel [Buccieri] and Regan [Riley] do a great job of finding her. Fallon is one of the best players in the area.”

Riley finished with 11 points, 12 rebounds, six assists and two steals. Buccieri added 10 points and four assists.

Molly Barry’s 17 points led LT, and Gina Delisi contributed 15.

The night before RB’s cross-town victory over the Lions, RB methodically pulled away from Fenton by extending a 19-11 halftime lead to 28-15 at the end of the third period. Buccieri paced RB with 10 points, while Jessie Hutchens and Ryan each had seven points.

“We did a great job on defense,” Rocco said of the win over Fenton. “We played zone and didn’t give them many looks.”

The Bulldogs held Fenton’s main offensive threat, Sam Rubright, scoreless in the first half. She finished with nine points for the game.

Looking ahead to next season, RB will have opportunities to avenge its loss against Timothy Christian. The Trojans, along with Illiana Christian, will join the Metro Suburban Conference in 2009-10.

“I think [the addition of two schools] will make our conference better and more competitive,” Rocco said. “It’s time to get away from facing teams three times.”
