The women’s basketball team was unable to repeat last year’s success against Indiana University, falling 72-53 in a game that the Hoosiers dominated from the start.
Indiana controlled the game early, as the team scored 23 points in the first quarter and only allowed seven from Butler. Redshirt sophomore guard Lenée Beaumont led the way for IU with nine points, while senior guard Shay Ciezki added five rebounds to ensure the team maintained possession.
The Bulldogs were unable to generate any offense, as Indiana’s defense held them in tough scoring situations.
