QUINCY, Ill. – Coming off a huge overtime win in Kirksville Thursday night, the UIndy women's basketball team was back in action in their season finale at Quincy to face the Hawks in Pepsi Arena. The Hounds ended their season on a high-note topping the Hawks, 60-47.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
Both teams struggled getting going in the opening quarter, shooting an identical 21% from the field. The only difference in the score was one of the Hounds going perfect from the line to take a one point lead into the second. The second quarter saw both teams pick it up from the field as UIndy shot 40% from the field and Quincy over 47% from the field with UIndy also nailing a triple. Quincy hit a jumper as the buzzer sounded to end the half to take a 25-24 lead into the break.
 
Quincy opened up the second half on a 5-0 run, but the Hounds responded quickly to take the lead after a pair of Katie Sowa three's to lead by as much as six in the period. The Greyhounds shot much better from the field, improving their field-goal percentage of 31% to over 37% percent after shooting 50% in the third period. The Hounds led by as much as nine before the Hawks started to foul to Hounds each possession. The Hounds only missed one of two of their free throws down the stretch to cap off their 2018-19 season with a 13-point win on the road.

HOUND BYTES
Head coach Kristin Wodrich on her team's second half, "we cleaned up some things that we are capable of, I told them that we are better than the mistakes we make and they bought into that. We did a nice job on the offensive glass and getting second-chance points yet again today and both of those things have been an Achilles heel for us. This offseason we have to work on turnovers and taking care of the ball. We make shots, we have kids that can make baskets and we have an inside presence with Emma [Benoit] and Taylor [Drury], our freshman came in and gave us really good minutes this year so I'm excited to get back to work because we have so much we can improve on and they want to continue to get better"
 
Senior Alexa Bailey after her final collegiate game, "we started out really well and then got hard for us. It was a fun group to be part of and get to see all of them grow and I am excited to see what they do next year. Now that my career is over, I am glad I stuck with it and never gave up."
