In a battle of two young women’s basketball teams, Indiana State’s senior point guard Taylor Whitley rose to the occasion, scoring a season-high 18 points and swiping seven of the Sycamores’ 19 steals Tuesday in Hulman Center.
Indiana State’s team defense — primarily a 3-2 zone led by ISU’s active guards and Racheal Mahan finishing with many of the rebounds — helped the Sycamores erase a 36-29 deficit early in the second half. ISU’s steal total was good for the second best in school history.
After falling behind seven, ISU went on a 16-2 run to take a 45-38 lead on its way to a 58-52 victory against Northern Illinois.
