ROMEOVILLE, Ill. – A pair of scoring droughts at Neil Carey Area played a big part in the University of Indianapolis women's basketball dropping a 68-53 decision in a conference battle on Saturday afternoon at Lewis. The loss for the Hounds snaps a previous winning streak of four games and bumps the team down to 11-9 overall (7-5 GLVC). Lewis improves to 12-8 (8-4 GLVC) with the win.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
A driving layup by Sadie Hill on an assist by Lauren With gave the Hounds a 25-23 lead with seven minutes remaining in the second quarter. This would be the last points of the first half for UIndy, who went completely scoreless the rest of the quarter while allowing Lewis to collect a 13-0 scoring run in that span of play.
 
Out of the intermission, a layup by Ilani Williams-Harris at the 9:11 mark in the third quarter was followed up once again by another UIndy scoring drought which lasted nearly five minutes of play. After Williams-Harris made this bucket, the Flyers went on a scoring run of 9-0 to extend their lead up to 20 points. From here, Lewis never looked back and maintained firm control of the game.
