INDIANAPOLIS - The IPFW women's basketball team dropped its Summit League road opener to IUPUI 78-68. After the opening weekend of league play, the Mastodons are 0-2 in The Summit League and 6-9 overall.

In the opening minutes, the Jags jumped out to an early lead with an 8-2 advantage. The Mastodon offense was held without a point over a 5:31 span to give IUPUI a 15-5 lead. IPFW used a 7-0 run at the 7:44 mark cut the Jaguar lead to one, 23-22. Seibert closed out the half connected on a three-pointer with 1:10 left as the 'Dons trailed IUPUI 34-29 at the break.
