Cherny saved her best performance for last at the Badger Challenge on Saturday. In a 67-54 win over Monona Grove, Cherney scored a program record 50 points while going 20 of 27 from the free throw line.

The sensational junior continued her scoring ways this week by pouring in 30 and 28 points in victories over Mount Horeb and Monroe.
