SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – The University of Evansville women's basketball team battled tough in the early going, but fell to Missouri State, 97-51, on the road Thursday night in Springfield, Mo.

"We made some shots in the first half and to be down the way we were shooting 45% from the field and 40% from three, that's tough to swallow as a coach.
