INDIANAPOLIS – The IUPUI women's basketball team clinches a quarterfinal home game with an 87-80 win over Youngstown State. Five Jags finished in double figures with Jazmyn Turner leading the offense with 21 points.

"This was a big win for our team tonight," said head coach Kate Bruce. "Both teams were making a lot of shots the first quarter and I thought our team picked up our defensive intensity the next three quarters. Our players played with a lot of toughness and heart. It was great to be back in the Jungle playing in front of our fans, such a terrific atmosphere." 
 
Youngstown State came out strong leading the Jags by ten after the first quarter. IUPUI quickly responded with Destiny Perkins sinking three straight threes and a little help from a layup from Logan Lewis to end the second quarter on top, 44-39.
 
The Penguins tied the game up a couple times to begin the third quarter, but IUPUI never lost the lead as they finished the third quarter at 62-58. The Jags jumped out to a ten point lead in the fourth quarter and held on after both Perkins and Turner fouled out to earn the win, 87-80.
 
Turner led the Jaguar offense with 21 points and six rebounds while Perkins and Natalie Andersen added 18 points each. Perkins five rebounds and a team-high three assists while Andersen collected two boards. Logan Lewis totaled 13 points and two rebounds while Ali Berg scored 10 points with a team-high seven rebounds and two steals.
 
The Jags shot 50 percent (25-for-50) from the floor and 44.4 percent (8-for-18) from behind the arc while holding Youngstown State to 39.3 percent from the three point line. IUPUI outrebounded the Penguins, 37-29.
 
The Jaguars will close out the regular season with a 5:30 PM tip against Robert Morris on Thursday at the Indiana Farmer's Coliseum.
