Drury's Late Scoring Barrage Snaps Hounds' Three Game Win Streak

SPRINGFIELD, MO – The UIndy women's basketball team's three game win streak was snapped on Friday night after a 70-58 loss to Drury. Tonight's game was rescheduled due to incoming winter weather on Saturday which would impact travel for UIndy. 

Patricia Chikamba had a game-high 21 points tonight along with nine boards in 31 minutes played, while Autumn Rucker and Graycie Poe notched nine points a piece. There were 12 lead changes and five ties in tonight's contest, which set up for an exciting 40 minutes of action.

INS & OUTS
The first two quarters were almost dead even, with both teams knocking down exactly 12 field goals, two three-pointers, but Drury held a 28-26 lead after the first 20 minutes of action. Chikamba scored the Hounds' first 10 points of the night, kick starting her 21 point performance.

Things remained even through the third quarter with once again identical stat lines from the field, and from downtown, with each team hitting six field goals and three triples in the third quarter. Jaelynne Murray connected on two of the Greyhounds' three third quarter threes, while Ruby Garner was the recipient of the third triple. The Hounds trailed by one, 46-45, headed to the fourth.

But after things tightened up for Drury, they pulled away with a 22-7 run over the first 7:53 of the fourth to take a commanding 68-52 lead. Drury's Kaylee King led the way in scoring over that run, with seven, while Sara Mendel and Sage Stratton notched six each. The Hounds' late push wasn't enough as they were only able to cut the lead to 12. 

INSIDE THE BOX
- Kylah Lawson had a team season-high of four blocked shots, surpassing her previous season-high of three against Upper Iowa.
- Once again the Greyhounds found success from its bench pieces, just one game after combining for 32 against Southwest Baptist.
- Chikamba and Lawson led the way for UIndy with nine and six rebounds each, respectively.
- Garner earned her fifth straight start for the Greyhounds tonight.

UP NEXT
UIndy will return home for another doubleheader, first squaring off against Missouri S&T at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday Jan 29, for Coaches vs. Cancer Night at Nicoson Hall.
