Cook added five rebounds and four steals in 37 minutes of action.

The Stars then traveled to Eureka College for the Eureka Classic on Friday and Saturday. On Friday, the Stars battled MacMurray College in a 60-54 loss. Wioletta Koziol (Mt. Prospect, IL/Prospect) led the Stars with 18 points and 6 rebounds in the losing effort while Cook chipped in 12 points, 5 assists and 4 steals.

The Stars rebounded on Saturday, hanging on to a 47-45 victory over Blackburn College after jumping out to a 32-19 lead at the half. In a very balanced offensive attack, the Stars were paced by junior Melissa Lounds (Streamwood, IL/Streamwood) and Cook who scored 11 points apiece. Sophomore Rachel Oliver (Manchester, MO/Parkway South) added 10 points and 14 rebounds in the winning effort.
