INDIANAPOLIS – Rachel Kent dropped a career-high 30 points to lead the Jaguar's to victory over Oakland on Sunday afternoon, 85-69. Four Jags including Kent scored in double figures to secure their third straight Horizon League win.
 
"This was a great win against a very good Oakland team," said head coach Kate Bruce. "I was very happy with our offensive execution, specifically our ball movement. Rachel Kent is an elite shooter and her teammates did a great job creating open shots for her and getting her the ball."

Oakland grabbed the early lead scoring nine straight before the Jags secured a bucket and kept the lead to end the first quarter 19-17. The Golden Grizzlies didn't hold it for long as Kent tied it up at 21-21 with a layup then Destiny Perkins took the lead with free-throws.
 
At the half, IUPUI held an 11-point lead over Oakland, 45-34 and kept that lead in the third quarter with a score of 64-53. The Jags scored three threes in the fourth quarter to seal the win at 85-69.
