The William Jewell women's basketball team dropped a 66-60 decision on the road at Indianapolis on Saturday, despite pulling down 51 rebounds, including a season-high 30 offensive. The Cardinals fall to 9-8 overall and 3-6 in Great Lakes Valley Conference play.

HOW IT HAPPENED

• 1st Quarter: The Greyhounds jumped out to an early 10-4 lead behind two three-pointers from Taylor Drury but the Cardinals responded by going on a 10-3 run, capped by a three from Natalie Denzer to go on top 14-13 with just under 90 seconds remaining in the opening period. A traditional three point play by the Greyhounds pushed them back in front 18-17 after ten minutes. 
• 2nd Quarter: UIndy expanded their lead to six early in the second frame but Kayla Harrell scored eight points in the period to help Jewell regain the lead 29-25. UIndy scored with 27 seconds on the clock to pull within two but after a three-point miss Lea Finn grabbed the offensive rebound and tipped the ball back in at the buzzer to give the Cardinals the 31-27 advantage at the half.  
• 3rd Quarter: Both teams got off to a slow start in the second half, as they combined to score just eight points through the first four minutes to knot the game at 33. The Greyhounds went on a quick 5-0 spurt which was ended after a long three from Antoinette Mussorici but the Cardinals could not get over the hump and trailed 45-40 after three quarters. 
• 4th Quarter: Harrell again took over at the start of the final period scoring back-to-back buckets to tie the game at 47 with eight minutes to play. UIndy outscored the Cardinals 8-3 over the next three and half minutes to push the lead back to five. Offield connected on two free throws at the 4:05 mark to pull the Cards within three at 55-52 but Jewell could get no closer over the final minutes. 

INSIDE THE BOX SCORE

• The Cardinals out-rebounded UIndy by 21, including 30-4 on the offensive end, leading to 20 second chance points. 
• Jewell shot just 29 percent from the floor, including 21 percent from behind the three point line, compared to 46 and 44 percent by the Greyhounds. 
• The Cardinals also owned the paint, outscoring UIndy 32-20.
