CARBONDALE, Ill, – Led by a career-high performance from Kate Bullman, the Illinois State women's basketball program (9-5, 3-1 MVC) handed a conference opponent their first MVC loss of the season as they defeated Southern Illinois (6-7, 3-1 MVC) Saturday.
Saturday's win marks the first win for Illinois State on the road against the Salukis since Feb. 5, 2021. The Redbirds came into Saturday with two straight road losses.
After a slow start thanks in part to the Salukis defense, Paige Robinson stepped up in a massive way, leading all Saturday scorers with 15 points.
