Senior guard Cyndi Valentin had a team-high 18 points, followed by senior guard Jenny DeMuth and sophomore guard Nikki Smith who each had 16. Senior center Angela Hawkins added 10 points.\nThe Hoosiers combined their good shooting with solid defense. IU held the Bruins to 25.8 percent from the field. \nLed by freshman Whitney Thomas' nine boards, the Hoosiers out-rebounded Belmont by 45-33.\n"I am very pleased on how we rebounded from Saturday's loss," Versyp said in a statement. "It feels good to get our first road win of the season. The keys to winning this game were to get to the free-throw line and rebound. We did both very well tonight"
