Extending their win streak to two, the Missouri State Lady Bears traveled to Normal, Illinois to take on the Illinois State Redbirds.
“We had to grind that one out, obviously wasn't a pretty game on our part for sure,” head coach Kellie Harper said. “Found a way at the end to win an ugly one.”
Missouri State (8-8) looked a little shaky following the tip off. Bad passes and forced shots plagued the Lady Bears for the first five minutes of play.
Illinois State (6-9), on the other hand, looked calm, cool and collected to start the game off.
