INDIANA, Pa. — Indiana University of Pennsylvania used a strong second half Wednesday night to defeat Seton Hill University 85-69 in Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference women's basketball action.

The Crimson Hawks overcame an early deficit and seized control before halftime, then broke the game open in the third quarter with a decisive scoring run that created separation the rest of the way.

Teresa Maggio led IUP with 20 points. Nyshae' Weaver added 18 points and a team-high 15 rebounds, while Ellie Wilkerson scored 12 points. Marin Miller contributed 10 as IUP placed four players in double figures.
