MOON TOWNSHIP, Pa. – The IU Indy women's basketball team travels to Moon Township to face the Robert Morris Colonials on Thursday, January 15. The Jags and Colonials are set for a 6:00 PM tip.
 
The IU Indy Jaguars controlled the game from start to finish Sunday afternoon at The Jungle, earning the 70–59 home victory over Wright State. Olivia Smith led the way with 16 points while Ariana Willaims recorded a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds.
 
IU Indy puts forth a nagging defense, leading the Horizon League in steals and turnovers. The Jags strip the ball 11.6 times per game, forcing 21.8 turnovers per game. Sydney Bolden leads the way defensively with 2.1 steals per game. IU Indy also ranks at the top of the league in free throw attempts with 23.7 per game, which puts them at 12th in the nation. Although they lead the Horizon League in attempts, the Jags sit in tenth for free throw percentage with a .668 mark. With 12.0 offensive rebounds per game, the Jags sit at second in the conference for second chance points opportunities.
 
IU Indy returned five from last year's roster with Nevaeh Foster leading the returning group. Foster has already shown her IU Indy experience, leading the Jags in scoring with 12.3 points per game. She adds 4.5 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game. Foster is the only Jaguar to start every game this season for IU Indy.
 
Twins Hailey and Olivia Smith transferred to IU Indy after spending two seasons at Ball State and have made an immediate impact on the court. Hailey is second on the team in scoring with 9.6 points per game and leads in rebounding with 6.1 per game while her sister Olivia adds 9.3 points per game and 4.1 rebounds per game. The dynamic duo from Fishers, Indiana have started in every game but three together, as Olivia Smith came off the bench in back-to-back games in December and Hailey missed the starting lineup this past game.
 
Coach Bruce's squad was picked to finish tenth in the Horizon League Preseason Poll, just ahead of Oakland. The Jags will look to fight their way through the Horizon League in hopes of outdoing their preseason rank. They are currently sitting at seventh in the standings with a 2-5 mark in Horizon League play.
