BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — The Lady Vols got their first win over a ranked opponent this season, upsetting 15th-ranked Indiana on Thursday. Tennessee led for over 37 minutes in the 66-58 victory.
Rennia Davis ended her scoring slump with a double-double of 19 points and 15 rebounds. Rae Burrell continued her offensive hot streak with 18 points. Jordan Horston finished with 13 points.
"Today was a big game and I felt like I had to come through for my team today. Obviously, my teammates kept telling me to shoot, even through the first four games," said Davis.
The Lady Vols led by 16 in the third quarter, before Indiana closed the deficit to two points. Crucial buckets in the fourth quarter allowed them to pull away. This is Tennessee's first road win of the season.
"I'm really excited about this win. Great win for our program," said head coach Kellie Harper.
Coach Harper also announced some injuries after the game. Keyen Green will likely miss the rest of the season with a leg injury. The grad transfer started in the first four games of the season, averaging 6.8 points per game. Jaiden McCoy is day-to-day with a head injury.
The Lady Vols return home to play Jackson State on Sunday.
