[Women's Basketball] Rio women upend No. 9 Warriors

Rio Grande Sports Information
    FORT WAYNE, Ind. - In his 29-plus years as the women's basketball head coach at the University of Rio Grande, David Smalley has enjoyed his fair share of memorable victories.
    None of his nearly 600 career triumphs, though, had come against a Top 10 foe.
    Until Saturday afternoon, that is.
    Smalley's RedStorm rallied from 11 points down late in the third quarter and held on down the stretch for an 85-79 win over previously-unbeaten and No. 9-ranked Indiana Tech in non-conference women's basketball action at the Schaefer Center.
    Rio Grande won for the 11th time in as many outings this season, while also avenging a 16-point loss to the host Warriors in the opening round of last season's NAIA national tournament.
    Indiana Tech, which surrendered its most points in a game since an 88-81 loss at Madonna (Mich.) on Nov. 16, 2016, dropped to 9-1 with the loss.
