Dickey leads the way in Aces loss to Eastern Illinois

EVANSVILLE – The third quarter proved the difference on Monday evening as the University of Evansville women's basketball team suffered a 73-63 loss to the visiting Eastern Illinois Panthers at the Ford Center.

"We just weren't ourselves in the third quarter," UE interim head coach Matt Ruffing said. "We weren't making good decisions, and it's tough because we were still in the game. I have to give Eastern Illinois credit. They forced turnovers, and I think we have to shoot better. We're a good three-point shooting team, but they just haven't fallen for us in these first two games.
