NORMAL, Ill. – Led by a career night from DeAnna Wilson, Illinois State women's basketball (13-5, 7-1 MVC) gave Kristen Gillespie her 100th career win as head coach of the Redbirds as they took down Evansville (8-8, 3-5 MVC) by a final of 78-46 Sunday afternoon inside CEFCU Arena.
Sunday was historic for Illinois State in a variety of ways, from start to finish. Graduate guard Mary Crompton started in her 100th career game as a Redbird Sunday, becoming the ninth Redbird women's basketball athlete to achieve this feat and first since former Redbird and now head coach at UIC, Ashleen Bracey.
