UIC Drops Wednesday Matinee at Northwestern, 60-41-- Box Score
EVANSTON, Ill. – The UIC women’s basketball team (3-1) dropped its Wednesday matinee at Northwestern (4-0) by a score of 60-41. UIC held an 11-9 lead with 12:51 left in the first half before Northwestern went on a 21-6 run to close out the half.
“We competed hard for all 40 minutes and I thought we learned a lot from today’s game,” said UIC head coach Regina Miller. “We started well and our defensive game plan of shortening the game worked. Their 21-6 run was spurred by multiple turnovers in a row. Our 29 turnovers were too much to overcome and triggered their fast break. The miscues on offense put us at a disadvantage and we could not get our defense set on the other end.” Read more
