BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (Interstat) — Indiana overwhelmed Penn State from the opening tip for a 93-59 women’s basketball victory Saturday at Assembly Hall.

The Hoosiers (17-12) seized a 31-8 first-quarter lead and never looked back, shooting 52.5% from the floor and making 20 of 21 free throws before a crowd of 8,447. Shay Ciezki led Indiana with 29 points. Penn State (11-18) shot just 32.8% and committed 17 turnovers. Gracie Merkle scored 22 points for the Lady Lions in the loss. Indiana’s efficient offense, posting a 120.8 rating on 77 possessions, proved too much for Penn State to overcome in the Big Ten contest.
