Junior point guard Rishonda Napier dribbles down the court during Friday's 76-64 win against Indiana State at SIU Arena.
Led by junior guard Rishonda Napier's 19 points, SIU (12-8, 5-3 Missouri Valley Conference) shook off a slow start to get the victory. Junior guard Carlie Corrigan scored 12 of the team's 16 bench points in the win.
"As a team, we adjusted to Dyana not being out there with us and everyone stepped up," senior guard Cartaesha Macklin said. "We just executed plays and rebounded and played the type of game we're capable of playing."
