Wichita, Kan. —
Brittany Schoen scored a game-high 20 points Sunday, becoming the 24th Indiana State women’s basketball player to reach the 1,000-point career mark, but host Wichita State pulled away in the final minutes for a 74-63 win over the Sycamores in Koch Arena.
The fifth straight loss for the streaky Sycamores left them 10-11 overall, 4-5 in Missouri Valley Conference play, while the league-leading Shockers are now 14-6 and 8-1.
Underdog ISU took play to the host team much of the time Sunday, but suffered crucial letdowns at the end of each half. Wichita took a 36-35 halftime lead when Indiana State went the last four and a half minutes of the first period without a field goal, and pulled away with a 14-4 run at the end of the game for the deceiving 11-point final margin.
Schoen’s 3-pointer capped a 9-0 Sycamore run early in the game that gave the visitors a 16-6 lead with 13:11 left in the first half, and ISU was ahead until Krystle Henderson hit a late layup for Wichita’s one-point lead at intermission.
A 10-point run by the Shockers to start the second half put them up 46-35, but soon the Sycamores had an 11-0 run of their own. Schoen hit two 3-pointers and Deja Mattox one in that stretch, and a layup by Anna Munn put ISU ahead 51-50 with 9:20 left in the game.
Three free throws by Schoen cut a Wichita lead to 60-59 with 4:06 left, but the Shockers put the game away from there.
Munn added 11 points and a game-high five assists for ISU, while all five Wichita starters were double-figure scorers and the fifth starter had eight points.
