INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. -- The Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College women's basketball team entered their sixth game of the year undefeated and it was a stiff road test against NCAA Division II foe University of Indianapolis as the Pomeroys gave them all they wanted on their home court before falling 68-60.

SMWC fell to 5-1 on the season while UIndy improved to 1-3.

The Pomeroys connected on seven 3-pointers in the contest as Fueger led the way with a trio of triples while Abby Worley posted a pair from distance. 

UIndy had to have a conventional 3-point play at the end of the first quarter to knot the contest at 17. Jones and Fueger hit jumpers as the clock ticked towards the eight minute mark of the first half to stake the Pomeroys to a 21-17 advantage. With 7:17 on the clock, Jones drilled a 3-pointer and SMWC led 24-19 -- its largest lead of the game.
