Juniors Nika Zyryanova and Sasha Cedeno carried the Owls with a combined 37 points.
After trailing by four entering halftime, Indiana State jumped out to a 48-42 lead midway through the third quarter. Then the team ran into a pair of juniors on Kellie Lewis-Jay’s Florida Atlantic women’s basketball team.
Sasha Cedeno hot-potatoed an outlet pass to a streaking Nika Zyryanova, both of whom already made a 3-pointer in the half.
