INDIANAPOLIS-Four Jaguars scored in double-figures as IUPUI defeated South Dakota 63-42 inside the Jungle on Wednesday evening.
Both IUPUI (21-7, 11-4) and South Dakota (22-6, 11-4) remain in the hunt for a share of the regular season title. A Coyote win over Western Illinois (22-6, 12-3) on Saturday could create a four-way tie with South Dakota State (20-7, 11-4) for the regular season title.
Senior center Abigail Fogg was the only Coyote to reach double figures with 13 points. It was the first time this season only one player was in double-digits. Fogg was 5-of-9 from the field while also grabbing six boards. Junior center Kate Liveringhouse was just shy of a double-double with nine points and eight rebounds off the bench.
IUPUI forward Jenna Gunn paced the Jaguars with 15 points. Center Mikale Rogers, guard Danielle Lawrence and guard Kelsi Byrd added 11 points each. Alex Brown came off the bench to lead the Jaguars on the boards with nine rebounds.
South Dakota shot a season-low 32.6 percent (15-46) from the field and committed 20 turnovers.
