BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana hit 10 three-pointers Sunday and went on to a 72-56 victory over SIUE in women's college basketball action at Assembly Hall.

SIUE freshmen CoCo Moore and Jessie Wendt led the Cougars off the bench. The duo scored 14 and 11 points, respectively, for the Cougars which fell to 6-5.

SIUE Head Coach Paula Buscher said she was pleased with her freshmen duo.

"It was nice to see them do that and have that kind of success against a Big Ten team," Buscher said. "Both CoCo and Jessie did a nice job of attacking the basket."

The Cougars shot better than the Hoosiers from the field with SIUE holding a field goal percentage of 42 percent (21-50) and Indiana coming in at 41.9 percent (26-62). The Hoosiers, however, made 10 of 24 three-pointers and led from the opening possession on a three-pointer by Aulani Sinclair.

Sinclair was the difference maker for the Boilermakers. She poured in a game-high 34 points for the Hoosiers, 7-4. Sinclair shot 12 of 23 from the field and 7 of 13 from three-point range.

"Sinclair is a very nice player and had a great game against us," said Buscher.

The Cougars were down by just three points in the first half when Sinclair created some distance with her three-point shooting. Indiana held a 25-22 lead with 4:58 to play in the first half after a jumper by Kiara Conner. Sinclair answered with three of her seven three-pointers in the final four minutes of the first half.

After falling behind 36-28 at halftime, the second half turned out to be an identical half in terms of scoring. Buscher said the Cougars need to be "crisper" over a full 40-minute game.

"We need to be sharper with our focus. That will lead to better decisions," said Buscher.

The Cougars are idle until Friday when they play their final non-conference matchup of the season. SIUE entertains SIU Carbondale at the Vadalabene Center in a 7 p.m. contest.
