The two combined to make 15 of IPFW's 21 field goals in the game.
Keanna Gary added six points and five rebounds. KeShyra McCarver led the 'Dons with a season- and game-high four assists.
The first half was one of extended runs by both teams, as the two sides combined for five stretches of six or more points. Western Illinois opened the game with six consecutive before the Mastodons responded with a run of eight straight. The Leathernecks came right back with eight consecutive points of their own. After a three by Carter, WIU score six more points as the 'Dons trailed by seven, 21-14 with 7:31 left.
