Aces fall 44-31 to Wichita State

EVANSVILLE – Sasha Robinson entered the University of Evansville's all-time top 10 in career rebounds on Friday, but it came in a losing effort as the Purple Aces dropped a 44-31 decision to visiting Wichita State at the Ford Center.
 
Robinson, a junior, ended the contest leading UE (2-22, 1-12 Missouri Valley) in both points and rebounds with eight apiece. The Nashville, Ind., native has pulled down 570 boards in her career, which moved her past former Aces standout Lisa Eckart for 10th all-time.
 
Both Rangie Bessard and TaQuandra Mike hit double figures for WSU (7-18, 4-10 MVC). Mike led the way, scoring 12 points and pulling down 11 rebounds, and Bessard ended with 16 and eight, respectively, as the Shockers out-rebounded UE 46-32.
 
Each team was stout defensively, with WSU owning a narrow edge in field goal percentage (27.7% - 22.9%) and the Aces winning the turnover battle (21-15).
 
UE will return to action on Sunday against Missouri State. Tipoff at the Ford Center is slated for 1 p.m.
 
NOTES: UE is 21-25 all-time against Wichita State and 12-35 vs. Missouri State … In home contests, the Aces are 13-9 and 9-13, respectively … Sara Dickey was held to four points on Friday, marking just the fourth time this season she's failed to register double-digit points … Dickey has 1,532 career points, the third-best mark in school history … Shyla McKibbon-Puelston is the next target on the all-time scoring list for Dickey. McKibbon-Puelston entered the UE Athletics Hall of Fame last month, and she finished her Aces career in 2002 with 1,626 career points … Sasha Robinson is nine rebounds away from moving up to ninth all-time in the Aces history books.
