EVANSVILLE - Going basket-for-basket with one of The Valley's best squads, the University of Evansville women's basketball team led late, but could not hold on in a 73-68 loss to Northern Iowa on Sunday afternoon inside Meeks Family Fieldhouse.

"We gave ourselves a chance to win. They were a couple plays better than us down the stretch, but I'm so proud of our fight and putting ourselves in position to win that game," said Aces head women's basketball coach Robyn Scherr-Wells.

Four Aces finished in double-figures on the day with fifth-year senior A'Niah Griffin pouring-in a team-best 17 points, including a career-high four three-pointers.
