INDIANAPOLIS – The UIndy women's basketball team suffered a 69-62 loss to Governors State on Wednesday evening at Nicoson Hall.
 
The visiting Jaguars outscored the Greyhounds, 20-7, in the final seven minutes for the successful comeback.

INS & OUTS
Amyrah Sapenter put UIndy up six with 7:20 left in the fourth quarter, drilling her third triple of the evening off an assist from Jaelynne Murray. The Jaguars quickly closed the gap back to even with a short 6-0 run to even the score at 55 apiece before a technical foul issued to GSU's McDaniels sent UIndy to the charity stripe.
 
Elana Wells split the four free throws, who also shot two because of a McDaniels' shooting foul prior to the technical. It was then that the Jaguars sprinted into another gear, scoring 10 of the next 14 points to lead the rest of the way.
 
Chikamba scored the Hounds' final five points, including an and-1 opportunity with 19 seconds left.
