The Geneva High School girls basketball team defeated Glenbard West High School 68–41 last Tuesday, winning the championship title in the tournament hosted by Benet Academy and Naperville North High School. It was the Geneva Vikings' 41st consecutive regular season victory since the 2007–2008 season, bringing their undefeated record up to 14–0.

After eight straight possessions in which they scored at least two points each, the Vikings had a 19–7 run that brought their score up to 47–29 before the end of the third quarter.

Geneva will play it's next game against arch-rival and host Batavia High School on January 2 at 6 pm.
