BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana women's basketball couldn't overcome a hot shooting night by Washington as it fell 82-63 on Wednesday night at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.

KEY MOMENTS

Freshman forward Maya Makalusky and senior guard Shay Ciezki each had a pair of threes to keep the game within reach, 9-6, with 5:07 to play. Washington (13-4, 3-3 B1G) used a late 9-0 run at the end of the first quarter to take a 24-13 lead.
Washington's lead grew to as many as 17 late in the second quarter but the Hoosiers' offense found life with a 7-0 run to finish the quarter. Sophomore guard Lenée Beaumont hit the runner in the paint as time expired to pull Indiana (11-8, 0-8 B1G) to a 41-31 deficit at the break.
Four 3-pointers in the third kept Indiana in it midway through the third as Beaumont drained one to stay within 10, 50-40. Despite a late layup by freshman guard Nevaeh Caffey, IU found itself down 61-47 going to the fourth.
Makaluksy had eight of her 16 points in the fourth quarter but the Huskies led by as many as 29 midway through the frame.

NOTABLE

Washington's win was the largest win in the series between the two teams as they picked up their second ever win in the series. Indiana still leads the all time series 3-2.
Ciezki tied a season high, seven 3-pointers as she also hit seven against Illinois-Chicago.
Makalusky finished in double figures for the sixth time this season with three of those games coming in Big Ten play. She finished with 16 points and hit four 3-pointers.
Ciezki scored a team high of 23 points for the 15th time this season.
IU connected on 12 3-pointers, the second most in a single game this season.
