KANSAS CITY, Mo. – A comeback in the second half to force overtime wasn't enough tonight for the University of Indianapolis women's basketball team, who fell 77-75 at the hands of Rockhurst in overtime. With the loss, UIndy falls to 13-10 (9-6 GLVC) while Rockhurst improves to 10-13 (5-10 GLVC).
 
Four players scored in double figures tonight for the Greyhounds. Sadie Hill led the team with 16 points while Lauren With was right behind with 15. Elana Wells and Jodi Mullins each produced 10 each.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
A rough opening half of shooting from both teams headlined action early at the Mason-Halpin Field House. UIndy went just 9-of-23 from the field (39.1 percent) in the first 20 minutes while Rockhurst went an even worse 11-of-35 (31.4 percent) in return. The Hounds trailed by nine heading into the locker room as Hill and With led the team in scoring with six each.
 
Facing a deficit of 10 points midway through the third quarter, the Hounds would put up an 8-0 scoring run shortly after to lock the game into a back-and-forth battle the remainder of the way through. UIndy would miss a potential game-winner at the end of regulation which sent the contest into overtime and then failed to score on the last possession of play trailing by two.
