COLUMBUS, Ohio – Despite 10 players scoring two points or more on Monday afternoon, the UIndy women's basketball team (6-6) fell in a non-conference road contest against Ohio Dominican (5-7) by a final of 80-73. With this, four of the six losses on the season for the Greyhounds have been by single-digits.
 
A trio of Hounds scored in double figures with Lauren With leading the way at 12 points. Ilani Williams-Harris notched 11 while Jada Lake had 10 of her own.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
A slow start found the Hounds trailing by as much as 14 early on at Alumni Hall. Despite this, a much improved second quarter by UIndy which saw the team outscore the Panthers by eight while forcing five turnovers in the process guided the game into a 35-31 halftime lead for ODU. In the opening 20 minutes of play, seven Greyhound players had recorded at least two or more points.
 
A notable ODU scoring drought of over two minutes and a beneficial 6-0 scoring run by UIndy in that span of play kept the game locked in a back-and-forth battle as action progressed midway through second half. A floater in the lane by Williams-Harris with around six minutes remaining in the game put the score at a 58-58 tie. However, an 11-2 scoring burst after this by Ohio Dominican put the home team back in control for the time being. A late comeback effort fell short for the Hounds who have now lost three of the last four games.
