CARPENTERSVILLE – Despite a solid effort from sophomore guard Sam Novak off the bench, the St. Charles North girls basketball team lost its second game in as many days at the 30th annual Charger Classic, falling to Resurrection, 63-58, on Thursday at Dundee-Crown morning.

North (4-11) struggled to convert key free throws in the second half, which ultimately led to its demise after a strong first half.

“Every game is a learning experience and we learned that we need to compete consistently,” North Stars coach Colleen Backer said. “Free throws were not helpful in this game and that’s something we need to improve on.”
