Box Score TERRE HAUTE, Ind. - In an in-state showdown, the University of Evansville women's basketball team fell to Indiana State, 68-58, on the road in Terre Haute on Friday evening.
A pair of Aces finished in double-figures for Evansville, as freshman Abby Feit tied for a game-high with 16 points, while pulling down six boards and blocking three shots. Sophomore A'Niah Griffin also recorded a double-digit scoring performance with 12 points on an efficient 5-10 shooting night. Dejanae Williams scored 16 points to lead the Sycamores, hitting a game-high four three-pointers.
Rebounds were the defining statistic of the night as the Sycamores grabbed 12 more boards than the Aces and attempted six more shots than Evansville. Despite a late positive stretch from the free-throw line, Evansville also struggled at the charity stripe on the night, shooting 12-25 (48%)Â from the stripe.

Evansville never truly let its deficit get out-of-hand, but the Aces never led on the evening. On multiple occasions down the stretch, the Aces cut the Sycamores' lead to four or less, twice moving within three points during the fourth quarter. The Aces never drew closer than three in the final period and Indiana State scored five-straight points during the mid-point of the fourth to secure its lead en route to the 10-point win.
Evansville gets the rare weekend off in MVC play, next traveling north to take on Valparaiso and Loyola on Feb. 6 and 8.
