SOUTH BEND, Ind.- The Indiana University South Bend Titans (7-1, 2-1 CCAC) defeated the Holy Cross College Saints (4-4, 0-2 CCAC) by a final score of 74-64.

Tuesday’s first quarter started in a 9-9 and 17-17 tie before freshman guard Bradie Chambers knocked down a three pointer to give the Titans a 20-17 edge in the first period.

Holy Cross held IUSB to just eight points in the second quarter before the Titans bested the Saints by four points in the third quarter to take a two point lead heading into the final period.

IU South Bend opened the fourth quarter by scoring the first six points on their way to outscoring the Saints by eight points in the final period, helping them take a 74-64 victory over the Holy Cross College Saints.

The IU South Bend offense was led by senior Tenleigh Phelps who finished with 41 points, falling just two points shy of breaking her own record for most points in a single game in Titans Women’s Basketball program history.

Phelps’ season high 41 points came on nearly 70% shooting from the field (14-21) while shooting a perfect 5-5 from the three point line and 8-10 from the free throw line while playing in 37 of the 40 minutes of Tuesday’s contest.

Other Titans to flourish in the scoring column included Bradie Chambers who finished with 11 points, Jazmen Watts who finished with nine points, and Keylee Hudson who finished with seven points, all helping lead the Titans to a 10 point win.

The Indiana University South Bend Titans return to action on Thursday, December 5th, when they host the Great Lakes College Christian Crusaders at 7:00 PM ET in the Student Activities Center, looking to extend their winning streak to three straight games.
