INDIANAPOLIS-  Kentucky Wesleyan spoiled a perfectly good Pink Zone® game Saturday by defeating the UIndy women's basketball team 77-63 at Nicoson Hall.  The Greyhounds donned pink jersey while participating in the Women's Basketball Coaches Association's initiative to raise breast cancer awareness.

UIndy (13-11, 8-8 GLVC) endured a 19-2 Panther run in the first half.  The ladies jumped out to a quick 8-1 lead but just as quickly found itself down 20-10.

The Hounds trimmed it to three in the final minute of the half, but Kourtney Rhoads drained a three in the waning seconds to make it 40-34 Panthers at the break.

KWC (15-8, 9-7) shot nearly 60 percent from the floor in the first 20 minutes, including a 6-for-8 effort from behind the arc.

UIndy pulled within two on three occasions in the second half, but could not overtake the visiting Panthers.  With the score 52-50 at the nine minute mark, KWC orchestrated another big run by putting together a lethal 24-7 surge to put the game away.  The Panthers led by as many as 19 before going on to the 77-63 win.

It was all Amanda Harnist in the second half, as the KWC senior scored 19 of her game-high 27 points in the latter period and finished the game 12-for-15 from the floor.

Senior Katie Lyons led the Greyhounds with 19 points, followed by 10 each from freshmen Katy McIntosh and Chas Lecher.  Diana Jovanovic's 13 rebounds marked the most by a Greyhound since December of 2008.

UIndy has two division games remaining before beginning post-season play, starting with a contest at Bellarmine Monday night.
