Romeoville, Ill. - Thursday night's rematch of the 2011 Great Lakes Valley Conference women's basketball championship was decided quickly, as Indianapolis used a 28-11 run to close out the first half en route to the 82-59 GLVC win over Lewis University at Neil Carey Arena.
UIndy junior guard Kristin Turner finished with a game-high 25 points on 11-for-22 shooting. Greyhounds junior forward Sydney Weinert added 14 points on 7-for-9 shooting, while Nickole Gonser and Katy McIntosh each posted 13 points in the win.
As a team, Indianapolis shot a blistering 56.1% (32-for-57) from the field, including eight three-pointers.

Lisa Carlsen said.
With the victory, Indianapolis improves to 14-4 on the campaign and 8-2 in GLVC play, while the host Flyers are now 2-8 on the season and 4-14 in conference action.
