Women’s Hoops Sees Win Streak Snapped at UC

Titans slip to 7-3

CHICAGO - The 13th-ranked Illinois Wesleyan University women's basketball team could not overcome a slow offensive night at No. 21 University of Chicago Tuesday, Dec. 18. The Titans (7-3) saw their five-game win streak snapped with a 73-54 loss to the Maroons (6-2).

Three double-digits scorers paced the Green and White as seniors Sawyer White (Downers Grove, Ill.-Montini Catholic) and Ava Bardic (Lincolnshire, Ill.-Stevenson) along with freshman Caitlin Leyden (Park Ridge, Ill.-Maine South) put up 10+ points. White led the way with 16 points, while Bardic followed with 15. Leyden nearly reached a double-double with 12 points and a team-high nine rebounds. 

The Green and White shot 36.2 percent from the field and went 5-for-22 from three-point range. IWU made just nine trips to the free throw line, cashing in on seven. UC connected on 33-of-61 of its shots, good for a 54.1 percent clip. The Maroons hit 4-of-12 three-pointers and 3-of-5 free throws. Chicago held a 36-31 lead on the glass alongside advantages in bench scoring (27-2) and points in the paint (56-26). 

Illinois Wesleyan won the opening quarter, 16-15, but the next two saw UC claim control.

Turnovers stacked up alongside easy buckets for Chicago saw the Green and White fall behind by as many as 14 in the third quarter.

The Titans cut the lead to 10 multiple times, but could not inch any closer in the defeat.

IWU heads to Florida for a pair of games Dec. 28-29. There, the Titans will take on Bethel University and Wisconsin Lutheran College.
