SPRINGFIELD, Ill. – The University of Indianapolis women's basketball team hit the road on Thursday night and picked up an 81-65 win over Illinois Springfield in GLVC action. The Greyhounds have now won their last four games and improve to 11-8 overall (7-4 GLVC) on the season while UIS drops to 2-18 (2-10 GLVC).
 
In total, four different Hounds scored in double figures. Sadie Hill and Liv Becker each contributed a team-high 17 points, while Lauren With and Jodi Mullins had 13 and 12, respectively.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
A layup in the paint over two defenders by Hill at the 3:36 mark in the second quarter put the Hounds out in front of the Prairie Stars by 11 for the team's first double-digit lead of the contest. UIndy was able to build off this to take an advantage of 16 points into the intermission at The Recreation & Athletic Center.
 
UIS came out of the locker room and was able to trim its deficit down to single digits with a little over six minutes left in the third after hitting back-to-back 3-pointers. However, UIndy never saw its lead dip below eight points the remainder of the game which eventually played a role in the convincing victory for the Hounds.
