EVANSVILLE - Holding a lead for much of the contest, a late run tripped up the University of Evansville women's basketball team in an 86-77 loss to Southern Illinois in the Aces first game in 11 days on Thursday evening inside Meeks Family Fieldhouse in Evansville.
Leading the way for the Aces was fifth-year guard Myia Clark, who tallied a game-high 25 points, scoring nearly half her total at the free-throw line. Also finishing in double-figures was graduate guard Anna Newman with 17 points on an efficient 6-of-8 night from the field. The Salukis were powered by Ashley Jones, who's 23 points led five SIU players in double-figures.
