DIXON – The box-and-one couldn't slow Brooke Bailey down. The triangle-and-two did, but it was too late.

The Dixon junior, who recently surpassed 1,000 career points, chewed up Streator's box-and-one defense in the first half. The Bulldogs went to a triangle-and-two in the second half to take Bailey away. They did, but the Duchesses remained in control en route to a 40-28 Northern Illinois Big 12 West win Tuesday at Lancaster Gym.

Bailey scored 15 of her 16 points in the first half, helping Dixon (7-13, 3-3) build a 26-15 halftime advantage.
