INDIANAPOLIS – The UIndy women's basketball dropped its third home game of the season on Tuesday night, falling to Findlay 83-54.

Amyrah Sapenter led the way in scoring for the Greyhounds, connecting on three long range shots, accounting for nine of her 12 points on the night. Four Greyhounds; Autumn Rucker, Halie Gilbert, Patricia Chikamba, and Taylor Van Meter all collected six points of their own tonight.

HOW IT HAPPENED
UIndy jumped out to an 11-7 lead with 6:12 to go in the first quarter, thanks to some hot shooting from Rucker and Sapenter, who combined to shoot a perfect 4-4 from the field during that stretch. Following the Hounds' lead, the Oilers would go on to double UIndy's scoring output the rest of the first half, and take a 41-28 lead into the half.

The Hounds were able to cut the lead back down to 12 with 5:36 to go after a Rucker pull-up jumper, but the Oilers used an efficient 8-14 (57.1%) and 8-15 (53.3%) shooting in the third and fourth quarters to vault the lead up to 29, and an eventual 83-54 win.

Jaelynne Murray led UIndy in scoring for the second half with nine points, while Chikamba and Van Meter each tallied four of their own.
