NORMAL — An exceptional defensive effort and a combined 40 points from Terrion Moore and JuJu Redmond handed the Illinois State women's basketball team a key Missouri Valley Conference victory Wednesday at Redbird Arena.

Sparked by the blanket-like defense of Moore, the Redbirds held leading MVC scorer Lasha Petree to 3 of 18 shooting as ISU claimed a 66-54 win over Bradley.
