LIBERTY, Mo. – The UIndy women's basketball team hit a snag on Saturday, falling to William Jewell by a score of 58-46 to close the weekend. The Cardinals kept the Greyhounds at arm's length after the first quarter, leading by double digits the final 22 minutes.
 
Jaelynne Murray flirted with her first-career double-double, finishing with 10 points and nine rebounds. The junior added one block and one steal in her season-high 36 minutes.
 
INS & OUTS
The Hounds jumped out to an early lead behind a pair of buckets from Patricia Chikamba, with Elana Wells and Murray chipping in two points apiece. Chikamba hit a jumper early in the second period to give UIndy a 12-10 advantage before Jewell closed the frame on a 17-3 run.
 
Kylah Lawson logged 18 minutes off the bench, recording all five points and six of her seven rebounds in the second half. Amyrah Sapenter also tallied each of her seven points in the final 20 minutes.
 
Murray joined Chikamba in double figures with a jumper late during the fourth quarter, as UIndy hovered a 10-point deficit most of the final frame.
 
INSIDE THE BOX
- Lawson accounted for three of the team's four blocks, upping her team-high total to 15 in her first season as a Greyhound.
- UIndy was whistled for 21 fouls compared Jewell's 14, as the hosts more than doubled its guests in free-throw attempts (25 to 11).
- The Hounds failed to find their stride from 3-point range, going 0-for from beyond the arc for the first time since February 2020 against Truman.
 
MORE NOTES
Chikamba returned to the floor after missing Thursday's game at Rockhurst … Paris Opelt and Ayden Shannon led the Cardinals with 12 points apiece.
