NEW ALBANY, Ind. – Josie Hockman had 15 points and five rebounds and Madi Woods had 12 points and six rebounds but it was not enough as IU Southeast dropped a decision to Georgetown College 70-62 on Monday.
A stifling defense from Georgetown stalled the Grenadier offense and caused 20 IU Southeast turnovers in the contest. IU Southeast was held scoreless for the first 3:30 of the contest but rallied to trail 28-24 at halftime behind a solid defensive effort.
The Grenadiers were 1-of-12 from three-point range in the first half and were 8-of-28 from the field in the first half before getting the offense going in the second half, shooting 46 percent from the field.
Georgetown (10-0) shot 41 percent from the field and 52 percent in the second half to pull away.
In the third quarter, IU Southeast had the game tied at 32 with 5:46 to play in the period but the Tigers finished the quarter on a 20-9 run which put the game out of reach.
IU Southeast (6-2) trailed by as many as 16 points early in the fourth quarter but more aggressive defense forced seven turnovers in the final 10 minutes of action which helped the Grenadiers cut into the lead.
Lydia Graves had 17 points to pace the Tigers.
IU Southeast travels to Brescia University Thursday for a 6:30 p.m. ET contest.
