Junior point guard Rishonda Napier looks to make a basket during SIU's 76-71 win against Illinois State on Sunday at SIU Arena. Napier scored 17 points in the game.
Led by junior guard Rishonda Napier's season-high 23 points and sophomore guard Kylie Giebelhausen's career-high 18, the Salukis avenged its 82-77 loss to the Bears on Jan. 24. The Bears were led by 14 points from sophomore guard Liza Fruendt and senior guard Tyonna Snow.
Napier said this win was sweeter because of how well the team played as a whole.
"When it comes down to it, this was a solid, overall team win," she said.
