[Women's Basketball] Rio women fall short in RSC semifinals
Rio Grande Sports Information
NEW ALBANY, Ind. - After posting a pair of narrow wins in each of their last two visits to Indiana University Southeast's Student Activities Building, the University of Rio Grande finally ran out of luck.
Two would-be game-winning three-point attempts by the RedStorm in the final seconds were off the mark, allowing the host Grenadiers to escape with a heart-stopping 96-95 win, Saturday afternoon, in the semifinal round of the River States Conference Women's Basketball Championship.
IU Southeast, the tourney's No. 1 seed from the league's West Division, improved to 20-11 with the win - just their second in eight all-time meetings with Rio Grande.
By virtue of the victory, the Grenadiers will host Ohio Christian University - a winner over Indiana University Kokomo in Saturday's other semifinal - in Tuesday night's tournament championship game.
Rio Grande, the East Division No. 2 seed, finished it season at 19-13 with the loss.
