Redbirds pull away in second half as cold-shooting trips up Aces
NORMAL, Ill. - Despite a day in which it competed for much of the opening 25 minutes, the University of Evansville women's basketball team could not overcome its cold shooting in a 78-46 loss to Illinois State on Sunday afternoon.
For the second-straight game, senior guard/forward Abby Feit reached the 20-point mark and hit four three-pointers to lead the way for the Aces back in her hometown. Feit was the lone Ace in double-figures, but UE was boosted by a strong performance from redshirt junior Celine Dupont, who tallied nine points and five boards off the bench. The Redbirds were led by the duo of Paige Robinson and Deanna Wilson, who combined for 49 points on the afternoon.
