Early offense not enough as Aces drop road contest at Valpo

VALPARAISO, Ind. - Despite shooting 40% in the opening two quarters, the University of Evansville women's basketball team was out-shot by Valparaiso 50.0% to 35.1% in the game in a 101-59 loss to the Crusaders on the road in Valparaiso, Ind. on Friday evening.

"We really tried this week to make things easier on our kids and break it down very cut and dry and we're still having issues with our roles and just doing our job," said Aces head coach Matt Ruffing. "It's frustrating. You score 17 and 19 points in the first and second quarter and find yourself down 20 at the half and you're shooting 50% from three and you make 10 threes and you're down 20.
