TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Mya Glanton registered her sixth double-double of the season Thursday night, but visiting Northern Iowa shot better than 50 percent from the field and held Indiana State below 30 percent in a 91-62 win over the Sycamores inside Hulman Center.
 
Glanton finished with 10 points and 10 rebounds for the Sycamores, while Bella Finnegan, Keslyn Secrist and Asia Donald had eight points each. Jailah Pelly and Saige Stahl had career-highs of six and five points, respectively.
 
Indiana State got off to a good start courtesy of a pair of Finnegan 3-pointers as part of a 10-2 run, but Northern Iowa worked its way back. The Panthers cut Indiana State's lead to a point by the end of the first quarter, then began the second on a 10-3 run and never looked back. Northern Iowa shot better than 50 percent from the field in each of the last three quarters and better than 60 percent in both the second and fourth on their way to a lopsided win over the Sycamores.
  
First Half
A pair of early 3-pointers from Finnegan sandwiched a jumper from Glanton, as Indiana State built a 10-2 lead inside the opening three minutes. Finnegan added a pull-up jumper midway through and Savannah White added a late three-ball, but Northern Iowa closed the quarter strong. Indiana State took a narrow 17-16 lead into the second quarter.
 
Northern Iowa opened the second quarter on a 10-3 run and never trailed from that point on. Donald and Glanton cut into UNI's lead midway through the period with baskets, and Chelsea Cain added a hook shot inside the final minute, but sharp shooting from the visitors saw Northern Iowa take a 39-28 lead at the break.
 
Second Half
Indiana State started the second half with a pair of early baskets from Stahl, and Donald added a layup to keep the Trees within distance. Northern Iowa followed with a 3-point barrage, hitting three in a span of less than three minutes to lead 59-41. Glanton added two more baskets down low, while Kiley Bess and Donald both converted from the charity stripe, but the Sycamores faced a 67-49 deficit entering the fourth.
 
Northern Iowa put the game out of reach early in the fourth with an 8-0 run, with Secrist ending the Sycamores' scoring drought with a 3-pointer to make it 77-53. Pelly added a fastbreak layup off a turnover midway through, while both Pelly and Secrist both connected on baskets late, but the game was out of hand by that point. Pelly's 3-pointer inside the final minute closed out a 91-62 defeat for Indiana State.
