Jackovich Calls Her Own Shot For Knights
On multiple occasions, Danijela Jackovich called for the ball and then
scored when the Knights needed a goal to help Lincoln-Way Central nearly
surprise St Ignatius in the state title game. She scored in the final
minute of the first half to tie the score at 5-5, then drove to set and
scored quickly right after the Knights had gone down 10-7. It wasn't
enough as LWC eventually lost 12-9, but she constantly fought off
double-teams to give her squad a chance to win until the final whistle.

victory over the Mustangs in the third-place game.
