Joliet Junior College weathered the Stormers.

The Wolves took a big lead into halftime and cruised to an 85-58 victory over Milwaukee Area Technical College on Wednesday. 

"I like where we are at this point of the season. We are getting better defensively and our bench is producing and gaining more confidence each game," coach Shaun Sanderson said. "This is the time of year you want your team playing its best. With that being said, I believe we have more to improve upon."

Speaking of improvements, Deesha Brefford played one of her best games of the year scoring 30 points while drilling seven 3-pointers as the Wolves picked up their 20th win of the season. She was a menace on defense with six steals. The Wolves defense was tough on the Stormers all evening with 20 steals and forcing 26 turnovers.

Talia Edwards scored 14 points and grabbed eight rebounds for JJC while Kianna Campbell's 11 rounded out the double-digit scorers. Destiny Villalejo grabbed eight rebounds for the Wolves. 

JJC will finish its regular season home slate with a 1 p.m. contest against Wright College on Saturday.
