Dyana Pierre fights through two Aces to make a layup during the game against Evansville University Jan. 18 at SIU Arena. Pierre averaged 14.6 points and 11.8 rebounds per game during the 2014-2015 season.
During the game, senior guard Cartaesha Macklin could make history by becoming the university's all-time leader in career points at SIU. She tied SIU Hall of Famer Amy Rakers with 1,538 points after a 22-point effort in a loss against Loyola Jan. 10.
The Salukis (10-6. 3-1 Missouri Valley Conference) 69-68 overtime loss against Loyola was the team's first in conference. The Purple Aces have been much worse though as they dropped 11 straight games before winning against Bradley that same day.
