Halftime: Women's basketball leads Indiana 39-25

January 28, 2015

Down by three-points with seven minutes into the first half following a jumper from the key by Indiana Hoosiers guard Karlee McBride, the shots were immediately converting for the Spartans. 

MSU went on a 12-0 run to record their second largest lead of the evening before going into halftime with a 39-25 lead at the Breslin Center. 

Tori Jankoska, the senior guard, was 4-of-6 from beyond the arc to lead the Spartans with 19-points. She was responsible for the final four-points of the half after being fouled after converting a three-pointer. 

Sophomore Aerial Powers, the Detroit product, has added 16-points and Becca Mills has recorded four-points, the only three players who have garnered any points in the first 20-minutes. 

The Spartans are currently shooting 37 percent from the floor (13-of-35), compared to Indiana, who has converted just 32 percent of their shots (9-of-28). 

Six players have garnered stats in the points column for the Hoosiers, with Karlee McBride leading the team with six-points. Amanda Cahill is the front runner in rebounds with six. 

Indiana is also shooting a mere 12.5 percent from the three-point line (1-of-8) while hitting just six of their 11 free throw attempts.
