Lady Hoosiers avoid scare on the road, pulling out 67-59 victory<\/strong>
The Saturday late afternoon game started off with a 12-2 run, except it would be the Bobcats of Quinnipiac which took an early lead. They would continue to dominate the first half, stunning the 4th<\/sup> nationally ranked Lady Hoosiers. Indiana was being challenged off the boards, and shot a dismal 38% in the first half of play on the road at People’s United Center in Hamden, CT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the 2nd<\/sup> quarter of play, Quinnipiac would record a 13-point lead over IU, although that would be shrunk to 6 at the end of the half, thanks to some momentum on behalf of the Hoosiers and another half-court buzzer beater by All-American Guard Grace Berger. Berger recorded a last second half court shot against the victory over Kentucky the previous week, although this one was from even deeper on the court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was not until 1:05 remaining in the 3rd<\/sup> quarter when Indiana would take its first lead of the game, and with an Ali Patberg 3-pointer with the 3rd<\/sup> quarter expiring, IU would be up 47-43, and not look back. IU Head Coach Teri Moren said the call on that shot was designed for Berger, and not Patberg, \u201c[they created some] false action to get the ball in Grace Berger\u2019s hands, and then she found Ali open.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 4th quarter was a different story, with the Hoosiers looking back in form. It took a while for IU to get in their rhythm. Junior Forward Mackenzie Holmes described the first half as a significant amount of stoppages by the referees; “We, adjusted well to how the Refs were calling the game,” she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indiana would pull out the 67-59 victory and escape the test on the road by an underrated Quinnipiac team. Berger said, \u201cWe have a target on our back now. [We are] #4 in the country, [other teams] will be amped up to play us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coach Moren added, \u201cThis is a good win for us; happy for the win. We had to dig, scratch, claw for it.\u201d She went on to say games \u2018like this\u2019 will help their experience and resume for the NCAA brackets at the end of the season. \u201cTeams playing in March have experience on the road,\u201d she exclaimed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the game, Berger led all with 17 points, Patberg had 12, Holmes and Nicole Cardano-Hillary each had 10, and Aleksa Gulbe added 8 points. Bobcat Guard Mackenzie Dewees led Quinnipiac with 15 points. Next up, Indiana takes on last year\u2019s champs, the 7th<\/sup> ranked Stanford Cardinal (3-1) at the Baha Mar Convention Center in Nassau, Bahamas. Tip off is scheduled for 1:30pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
