Sophomore forward Imani Guy (Columbus, Indiana), who recorded her first career start Tuesday, paced USI with a career and game-high 15 points to go along with seven rebounds, while senior center Kacy Eschweiler (St. Charles, Missouri) chipped in 12 points and a game-high eight rebounds. Sophomore guards Emma DeHart (Indianapolis, Indiana) and Kennedy Williams (Marshall, Illinois) contributed 12 and 10 points per game, respectively, to round out the Eagles’ double-figure scorers.

Freshman forward Lauren Godwin and freshman guard Sierra Peete each had nine points to lead the Cougars (3-2), who counted Tuesday’s game as an exhibition.

Home Winning Streak
USI’s home winning streak (24) moved into sole possession of second-place all-time in program history, just nine shy of the school-record 33 straight home games USI won from 1996-98. USI won 23 straight games at the PAC from 2000-02.

Extended Minutes
USI played all 12 players on Tuesday evening, with all 12 getting at least nine minutes of playing time. All but one player found the scoreboard, while all but one player had at least one steal and all but two players had at least two rebounds.

Turnovers/Paint
The Eagles forced IU Kokomo into 31 turnovers and scored 34 points off of those miscues. USI also outscored the Cougars, 50-14, in the paint.

Finally a breather
After four nail-biting games to begin the season, the Eagles win over IU Kokomo Tuesday marked the first time in five outings that there hasn’t been a tie score or a lead change in the fourth period of a USI women’s basketball contest.

Up Next
USI hosts Midwest Region opponent Lake Erie College Saturday at 2:30 p.m. at the PAC as part of the USI Thanksgiving Classic. The Storm is 2-0 after a 67-62 road win over Clarion University Tuesday afternoon.
