HOW IT HAPPENED
· Indiana pulled away early with a 23-14 run to open the game. The Eagles never recovered as that was the closest they got. The Indiana lead grew to 18 with 4:01 to play in the half on a three-pointer by Karlee McBride. The Hoosiers led 45-29 at the half
· After the half, Indiana's lead grew to 20 points at 16:17 in the game off another three-pointer from Tyra Buss (career-high 24 points).
· The Eagles run began off a three-pointer from Emilee Daley with 7:53 to play, which cut the Hoosier lead to 13 points. Indiana pushed the lead back to 16 but the Eagles came at the Hoosiers with a layup by Cooper, a short jumper from Daley and a three-pointer from Nicole Boudreau - BC 60, Indiana 70 - with 4:41 left in the game.
· The Eagles cut the lead to eight points after Hughes hit a three and then a layup with 1:10 to play. That would be the closes BC could get as Buss nailed two free throws in the final minute to halt any comeback from the Eagles.
