1/9/2018 9:16:00 PM | Women's Basketball
FORT WAYNE, Ind. - Five different players scored in double figures as the Fort Wayne women's basketball team snapped a seven-game losing streak with a 76-65 victory over Summit League foe Omaha.

KeShyra McCarver finished with 12 points while Hannah Albrecht and Kierstyn Repp each finished with 11. Albrecht also led the 'Dons with four assists and two steals.
After Omaha held an early lead, the Mastodons charged back with a 6-0 run to take the lead. UNO answered with four straight of its own and regained the lead. The Mastodons followed with their longest run of the season, scoring 15 consecutive points over a 5:02 stretch in the second quarter.

The 'Dons connected on 14-of-16 free throws during the final 2:38 of the game to cement the victory.
