IU WBB Defeats Marshall On Tuesday Night 

BLOOMINGTON, Ind.  â€“  Three players scored in double figures as Indiana fended off Marshall, 57-51, on Tuesday night inside Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. 

KEY MOMENTS

  • After a 9-6 start in the first quarter, shots start to fall for IU late in the second as a sophomore guard Valentyna Kadlecova connected from the baseline to make it a 22-15 lead with 3:18 to go. 
  • Indiana held a seven-point edge at the break (24-17), as its lead grew to double figures in the third quarter for the first time of the night on a sophomore forward Zania Socka-Nguemen offensive rebound and putback.
  • The lead was as many as 16 with just over seven minutes to play, as Marshall (2-1) made a late push in the game. They would go on to outscore the Hoosiers, 21-14, in the fourth but Kadlecova’s 3-pointer with 1:15 to go gave her team a cushion. 

NOTABLE

  • Ciezki notched her first double-double of the season with 13 points and 10 rebounds.
  • Socka-Nguemen matched Ciezki’s effort, finding 13 points and 10 rebounds of her own to record her first double-double as a Hoosier. 
  • The Hoosiers outbounded Marshall by 16, with junior forward Edessa Noyan and Beaumont having 6 each. 
  • Kadlecova scored a career high in the contest with nine points, with two shots being from downtown.

The Hoosiers are on the road at Florida State on Sunday in a 5 p.m. ET tip on ACC Network.
