Dickey joins 2,000-point club in win at Southern Illinois

CARBONDALE, Ill. – Sara Dickey enjoyed yet another historic outing on Friday evening, becoming just the eighth Missouri Valley Conference player to score 2,000 career points as the University of Evansville women's basketball team earned a 74-61 victory over Southern Illinois at SIU Arena.

It was the best outing of the season for the senior out of Montezuma, Ind., as she drained a career-best seven three-pointers on the way to finishing with a season-best 28 points on 10-of-17 shooting.

"It's a cool feeling to get there," Dickey said of the accomplishment. "I was getting really frustrated over the past few games, and I'm just really happy that it all came together tonight.
