The 12th<\/sup> nationally ranked Indiana Hoosiers (4-0) hosted the Bobcats of Quinnipiac (2-1) on Sunday afternoon at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall in front of a crowd of about 2900 fans. Indiana handily defeated the Bobcats, 92-55, as opposed to the much closer game the two had experienced a year ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hoosiers were coming off of 3 home victories as well as one road test, defeating then #5 Tennessee at Thompson-Boling Arena. Indiana has averaged more than 88 ppg, hitting 51% field goals, 34% from beyond the arc, in their first four games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quinnipiac came out quickly, shooting the ball really well against the Hoosiers, leading 8-6 early in the game. But Indiana would light it up from 3-point land, hitting 5-9 in the first quarter. Freshman Yarden Garzon sank 3 triples while Junior Guards Chloe Moore-McNeil and Sydney Parrish would each add one, as well. At the end of 10 minutes of play, the Hoosiers had a 25-point edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the game, Indiana Head Coach Teri Moren mentioned that the team had discussed running the court and setting a fast pace, as they did in Thursday\u2019s game against Bowling Green. \u201cIn seeing what the defense was going to give us, it just so happened that Grace [Berger] found Yarden [Garzon] on a couple of those runouts in the corner,\u201d said Coach Moren. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coach went on to sing the praises of the Freshman recruit from Israel, \u201cYou see the specialness of Yarden in the open floor; her being able to make plays, whether it\u2019s to [Mackenzie Holmes], whether it\u2019s to the post players running, or whether it\u2019s to Sara [Scalia] on the outside or Grace on the outside, or [Sydney Parrish]. She\u2019s exceptional when it comes to seeing the floor and making plays that not a lot of Freshman make.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Garzon would sink 14 points, grab 2 rebounds, and provide 2 assists in her 19 minutes during the contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second quarter was more of the same, with the Hoosiers shooting 56% from the field, 46% from the 3-point line, and out-rebounding the Bobcats 17-10 by the halftime buzzer. During the second half, Indiana had 25 points from their bench, a statistic that IU has become accustomed to this season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bobcats did not play poorly, shooting over 40% for the game, 36% of 3-pointers, 11-13 from the line, and grabbing 27 rebounds. Quinnipiac was just completely outmatched today. They will likely mature through the season, and could easily ruin someone\u2019s March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holmes led all with 22 points and 7 rebounds. Garzon added 14 points, Berger had 13 points and 6 assists, and Graduate Forward Alyssa Geary added 11 points from the bench.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next up, The Hoosiers will travel to Las Vegas to play in the Las Vegas Invitational against Auburn (Nov. 25) and Memphis (Nov. 26).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
