Haylee Sagle pumped in 20 second half points Monday night, helping the Taylorville Lady Tornados rally and post a 51-48 victory at Effingham.
The Lady Hearts held a double-digit lead in the first half, but Sagle, who had a game-high 27 points, helped Taylorville stage a comeback in the final two quarters to get the Apollo Conference victory.
The first half, however, was a different story. The Lady Hearts got a pair of three-pointers from Meredith Schaefer and built an 18-8 lead after the opening eight minutes and still led 26-17 at intermission.
Taylor Armstrong scored eight points in the third quarter, but the Lady Hearts only had 10 total and Taylorville was able to close to within 36-32. Sagle then tallied 12 points in the final period to help the Lady Tornados complete the comeback.
Armstrong finished with 14 points and Schaefer added 12 for EHS.
The Lady Hearts dropped to 3-6 overall and 3-5 in league play. They are scheduled to play two more home games this week -- Thursday against Mahomet-Seymour and Saturday against Mt. Zion.
