Evansville battles back to take the lead, but drops road matchup with Bradley

PEORIA, Ill. - Battling back multiple times, the University of Evansville women's basketball team could not complete its comeback in a 77-67 loss to Bradley on Sunday afternoon in Peoria, Ill.

Evansville's start looked reminiscent of two nights ago at Illinois State as the Aces were the aggressors early. The Aces jumped out to an 11-4 lead as much of the work was done at the free-throw line, where UE started 6-6. Evansville maintained its lead through the under-five media timeout and although it was cut as low as one, the Aces built it back to five at 19-14 with 3:25 left in the quarter on a reverse layup by A'Niah Griffin.
