The Loyola women’s basketball team (6-2) defeated Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (SIUE) 56-43 at Gentile Arena Thursday night. The Ramblers have now won four straight games and are off to their best start since 2001-02.
“All wins are good wins,” Loyola head coach Kate Achter said after the game. “Two years ago, we had just two.”
Loyola junior guard Tiara Wallace scored 13 points and grabbed 10 rebounds for her second double-double of the season. Sophomore guard Abby O’Connor dropped a team-high 14 points and first-year guard Janae Gonzales added 10.
Both teams struggled to find a rhythm on the offensive end throughout the game.
