ST. LOUIS – The UIndy women's basketball team (5-5, 3-2 GLVC) trailed by 15 at the half and had its huge second half comeback fall short as the Hounds dropped a game 88-83 to Maryville (7-3, 4-1 GLVC) on Sunday afternoon at the Moloney Arena.
 
It was another big game for Sadie Hill who matched both her career-highs in scoring with 25 points and rebounding with 13. This is the third double-double of the season for her. Idalis Ortiz also scored in double figured with 13 while Lauren With and Ilani Williams-Harris each totaled 11 points each.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
The Hounds trailed by 10 after one quarter which was mostly due to Maryville going 11-of-13 from the field while UIndy was at just 7-of-20 in return. The Greyhounds were able to trim their deficit down to eight before Maryville rattled off a big rest of the half to go up by 15 heading into the halftime locker room.
 
A big burst out of the intermission that saw the Hounds execute a 15-4 scoring run helped the team get within arm's reach of the Saints. Notably, a successful three-point play by Hill with one-tenth of a second remaining in the third cut the Maryville lead down to just two.
 
However, UIndy was never able to get over the hurdle and failed to lead at all in the contest despite tying things up with under two minutes remaining.
