No. 25 Indiana Women's Basketball Wins Opener

The No. 25 Indiana women's basketball team opened their season with a convincing 82-60 victory over Brown, highlighted by Sydney Parrish's double-double of 20 points and 10 rebounds. Despite the win, both Parrish and head coach Teri Moren expressed dissatisfaction with the team's defensive performance, particularly allowing 11 three-pointers. Indiana built a substantial lead early, leading 39-21 at halftime, but struggled defensively in the third quarter as Brown managed to score 23 points. The Hoosiers shot 50% from the field and demonstrated strong free-throw shooting at 85%. Notably, Indiana is dealing with injuries to several key players, including junior guard Lexus Bargesser and sophomore guard Lenée Beaumont. The team will face Harvard next as they look to improve their performance on both ends of the floor.
