In a battle of the unbeatens, NT jumped out to a 18-10 first-quarter lead and went on to beat highly touted Glenbrook South 55-34 in a Central Suburban League South Division showdown on Dec. 8.

Highlighted by senior point guard Haley Greer, the Trevians (7-0, 2-0) used the three-ball to score all 18 of those first-quarter points.

“That’s insane,” said Greer, who ended up making five three-pointers on her way to scoring a game-high 21 points.

The Trevians sank 13 threes for the game.

“They were pinching hard inside on Jeannie (Boehm),” Greer said. “That gave us space to shoot the three. We had good looks.”

Glenbrook South head coach Steve Weissenstein tipped his hat to NT’s shooters.

“You have to pick your poison with them,” the veteran coach said.

The Titans (8-1, 1-1), and in particular senior Sarah McDonagh, did a good job of containing Boehm, who tallied only two points through three quarters.

But, to her credit, the 6-foot-3 Boehm stayed with it. The Harvard University recruit ended up with 10 points to go along with 20 rebounds, four assists and three blocks.

Greer, meanwhile, shot lights out, especially from beyond the arc where she went 5 for 6. She nailed three in the opening quarter and added two more in the second half.

Autumn Kalis knocked down three three-pointers for the Trevians, while Kathryn Pedi and Maggie Murdock had two treys each. Allison Borsotti also got one to go down.

“With two undefeated teams going at it, this game was a big deal,” said Greer, who also added three assists, three steals and four rebounds.

Rodgers loved her team’s shooting display. But that’s not all she loved.

“Put that (three-point shooting) aside, I thought the key to the game was our good defense,” said Rodgers. “I’m very pleased with the way we responded on the defensive end.”

The Titans put up a good battle before going cold midway through the fourth quarter. In fact, they were within eight points, 36-28, following a stop-and-pop three-pointer by Carie Weinman with 6:54 left in regulation.

Weinman had a solid all-around performance. She finished with 10 rebounds, eight points, six steals and three assists.

GBS’s leading scorer was sophomore guard Lizzy Shaw (10 points), while senior Caitlin Morrison had eight points and five rebounds.

“Obviously, New Trier played very well tonight,” said Weissenstein. “Not many teams would beat them tonight.

“But,” he added, “we didn’t play well offensively. I didn’t think our shot selection was very good. And we left a lot of points on the floor. We’d get a steal and then miss the layup.”

The two teams will meet again on Jan. 22 in GBS’s gym.

Notable: New Trier senior guard Kathryn Pedi will be playing her college basketball at Holy Cross.

The team’s other D-1 players include Jeannie Boehm (Harvard) and Haley Greer (Colgate).
