CHICAGO – Tamara Lee scored 18 points behind a handful of 3-pointers but Indiana State's rally fell short in a 56-54 loss at Loyola Chicago Sunday afternoon.
The Sycamores (9-8, 3-3 Missouri Valley) had a chance to go to overtime for a second consecutive game as Regan Wentland inbounded the ball to Ty Battle with 0.4 seconds on the clock but Battle's layup wouldn't fall as the final horn sounded.
Indiana State battled back from a 15-point deficit, drawing even on two different occasions in the final quarter but Loyola (9-7, 3-2) would never allow the Sycamores to take the lead.
