KEY MOMENTS
- A pair of treys from graduate guards Sydney Parrish and Chloe Moore-McNeil would get scoring started for Indiana (15-7,7-4 B1G). It held an early lead over the Scarlet Knights despite a scoring drought in the bottom of the frame that persisted for 3:50.
- Both teams struggled to get it going the top of the second period until junior guard Shay Ciezki found an opportunity to tip it in. Senior forward Karoline Striplin followed soon after with a layup of her own to help the Hoosiers took a 32-21 lead at the break.
- Moore-McNeil and junior guard Yarden Garzon would come together to drain a pair of triples from the top of the key, with Garzon giving the home team the largest advantage of the half at 11 points.
- Indiana led Rutgers (9-14,1-11 B1G) 32-21 going into the break, shooting 50% from the field during the second (6-for-12)
- Indiana put on a clinic from the 3-point line in the third quarter, as it went 10-for-13 from long range. The 3-point onslaught started with Moore-McNeil hitting a pair back-to-back while Ciezki, Parrish and Garzon all connected beyond the arc. It was part a 76.9 percent clip from downtown as Ciezki led with 11 points in the frame.
