Winter Park, Fla. – Sophomore Davion Wingate (Atlanta, Ga.) led the offensive attack again, but the Stony Brook women's basketball team fell to a hot-shooting Indiana, 74-60, Wednesday night at the Florida Sunshine Classic at Warden Arena. In the defeat, the Seawolves fall to 5-6, while the Hoosiers improve to 10-3.
 
McCombs' Reaction
"Indiana's a great team. They're very difficult to defend, and they did some things that we'll have to continue to improve upon as we head into our final two nonconference games and then on into conference play. Overall, I'm proud of our team and how we fought. We'll continue to get better." – Head Coach Caroline McCombs
