Courtney Woods and Myia Starks shine in their final game at the Convocation Center

DeKALB — Women's basketball protected home court Wednesday on its final home game of the season by defeating the Ball State University Cardinals 70-62.

In a game where both teams were trading baskets early, the Huskies shined in the second, cutting turnovers, scoring tough buckets and playing stout defense.

In the first half, the Huskies had 12 turnovers; in the second, they only had six.

“Our concern the first half was taking care of the basketball,” Head Coach Lisa Carlsen said. “It was a little bit intentional in the second half to make sure we didn't get ahead of ourselves.
