The Effingham Lady Hearts will take a 10-game winning streak into the postseason.
They notched their 10th straight win Saturday with a low-scoring 38-29 Apollo Conference decision at Mt. Zion.
The Lady Hearts did shoot well, connecting on just 11-of-32 attempts overall, a 34 percent clip. But they made enough shots to secure the win and head into the postseason with a lot of momentum.
Effingham started strong. Averie Wolfe connected on a three-pointer and scored seven points, helping the Lady Hearts build a 13-5 lead after the opening eight minutes. The margin stayed about the same the rest of the game. EHS led 23-15 at halftime and 29-22 after three quarters.
Wolfe finished with a game-high 13 points.
The Lady Hearts improved to 26-4 overall and finished conference play with a 7-3 mark, good enough for a second place finish.
Now its postseason time. The Lady Hearts are the No. 2 seed in the Salem Regional and will open play at 6 p.m. Monday against either Salem or Troy Triad.
