INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – The Wayne State University women's basketball team improved to 3-0 on the young season with a 93-71 triumph at the University of Indianapolis (0-4) Thursday evening.  WSU has won the last three meetings against the Greyhounds, but this was the first win in four tries at UIndy (2003-NCAA, 2005 and 2013).
 
HOW IT HAPPENED

• After UIndy knotted the game at two, the Warriors went on a 5-0 run with senior Brittany Streetman (Warren, Mich. / Lincoln) scoring a pair of buckets.
• The Greyhounds pulled within 7-5, but WSU maintained its advantage and held a 17-15 lead after the first quarter.  Indianapolis was within one on three occasions (12-11, 14-13 and 16-15) in the opening period but never were able to even the score.
• In the first four-and-a-half minutes of the second stanza, Wayne State had an 8-7 edge in scoring before going on an 18-11 spurt to end the first half with a 10-point margin (43-33).  Both times the Greyhounds cut their deficit to three, WSU answered with a three-point play – first a conventional one by junior Christina Green (Southfield, Mich. / Lathrup) followed by a triple from senior Kristen Long (Durand, Mich.).
• Sophomore Shannon Wilson (West Bloomfield, Mich. / Bloomfield Hills) totaled eight points in the second period to lead all scorers.
• WSU started the second half outscoring the hosts 15-10 in the first four-and-a-half minutes, then finished the stanza on a 12-9 run for a 70-52 lead after 30 minutes.
• Wayne State continued its lead by posting a 23-point fourth quarter, while limiting UIndy to 19 points over the final 10 minutes.
