DAYTON, Ohio – Senior Katie Davidson totaled a season-high 28 points to lead the IU Indy women's basketball team to an 80-68 victory over Wright State on Wednesday night. Nevaeh Foster and Alexa Hocevar each added double-digit points to assist in the win.
 
In a dominant performance on Wednesday night, the Jaguars controlled the game from the opening tip, with Davidson hitting the first basket at the 9:15 mark of the first quarter and setting the tone for the night. IU Indy led for the entirety of the game after Davidson's opening bucket.
 
The Jaguars came out strong in the first quarter, shooting 50% from the field and establishing a 12-point lead with just two minutes remaining in the period. Though Wright State closed the quarter on a 7-0 run, they were unable to maintain that momentum, as IU Indy quickly responded in the second. After the Raiders pulled within one at 23-22, the Jaguars finished the half with an 8-3 run to secure a 40-32 lead heading into the break.
 
Out of halftime, IU Indy's offense was nearly unstoppable, posting a 61.1 shooting percentage in the third quarter (11-for-18) and adding 25 points. Their defense held Wright State to just 18 points in the period, allowing the Jaguars to extend their lead to 65-50 heading into the final frame.
 
Despite a late push from the Raiders in the fourth quarter, who outscored the Jaguars 18-15, the damage was done, and IU Indy cruised to the 80-68 victory. The Jaguars shot 54.2 percent from the field and were 7-for-15 from three-point range, with Davidson's perfect 3-for-3 effort from beyond the arc leading the way.
 
Davidson's 28 points were supported by solid performances from Nevaeh Foster, who tallied 17 points, four rebounds, and three steals, and Alexa Hocevar, who finished with 15 points, seven rebounds, and four assists.
 
With the win, IU Indy improves to 5-9 in Horizon League play and 6-17 overall. The Jaguars will return to the Jungle on Saturday, Feb. 8, to host Northern Kentucky.
