QUINCY, Ill. – The UIndy women's basketball team dropped its second game of the weekend on the road, this time falling to Quincy, 71-58.

Patricia Chikamba recorded another 20 point outing, while Taylor Van Meter had one of her best outings in her young Greyhound career, recording seven points and grabbing eight boards.

Similar to the Greyhounds' game last week against Illinois Springfield, the team held a double digit lead, and let it slip away late. The hot three point shooting from the Hawks proved lethal, as Quincy shot a clean 50% (9-18) from downtown, while the Greyhounds managed only three buckets from downtown.

INS & OUTS
The trend of hot starts for the Greyhounds continued in today's contest, with UIndy jumping out to a 10 point lead with 7:22 to go in the second. Chikamba and Graycie Poe spearheaded the scoring output for the Hounds, with seven and five points, respectively. During that hot start, not only was UIndy efficiently shooting from the field, 7-17 (41.7%), they were also getting to the line and knocking their shots down, going 8-10 (80%) from the charity stripe.

But after the Greyhounds took a 23-13 lead, the Hawks chipped into the lead, and found themselves in front after a three pointer from Reagan Reed with five seconds left in the second quarter, gave Quincy a 30-29 lead headed to the break.

The Hawks first half comeback set up for an exciting third quarter, as things went back-and-forth over those 10 minutes, including four lead changes. UIndy turned defense into offense, forcing six turnovers in the third quarter, and turning that into six made buckets on the other end, to square the game at 43 headed to the fourth.

Quincy flipped the script from the third to fourth quarter, forcing six UIndy turnovers, bringing the Hounds' total turnovers to 17 for the day. Along with the stifling defense, the Hawks knocked down three triples, while shooting 9-11 (81.8%) from the field, the team's second best shooting percentage in a quarter this season. The Hawks' hot shooting propelled them out to a game high 14 point lead with 10 seconds, before closing out the game with a 71-58 win.
