INDIANAPOLIS – The North Dakota State women's basketball team (9-17, 5-9 Summit League) suffered its seventh straight loss on Thursday, Feb. 19, inside The Jungle, falling at IUPUI (13-13, 8-5 Summit League), 76-65.

Liz Keena snagged a career-and game-high 15 rebounds and added 15 points for her second double-double of the season, while Brooke LeMar led the Bison in scoring with 16 points. Holly Johnson also reached double figures in the game, netting 12 points on 4-for-8 shooting.

North Dakota State shot 38 percent in the contest, making 26 of 69 attempts, and were 5-for-12 from three-point range for 42 percent. The Bison were a perfect 8-for-8 at the free-throw line.

IUPUI was led by Shaquira Scott, who netted a game-high 23 points after going 8-for-12 from the field.

The Jaguars went 53 percent from the field in the game, going 30-for-57, and connected on 15-of-22 foul shot attempts for 68 percent.

The Jags made just 1-of-5 three-pointers, but outscored the Bison in the paint, 52-22, and tallied 20 points off 20 NDSU turnovers, compared to just 18 points off 12 IUPUI miscues for North Dakota State.
