IU Northwest Bookstore Recap: Indiana Northwest Wins Seventh Straight Behind Jackson’s Dominant Double-Double

GARY, Ind. – Tiara Jackson delivered a monster performance with 25 points and 21 rebounds, leading Indiana Northwest to a 62-53 victory over Holy Cross on Wednesday night at the Savannah Center. The win extends the RedHawks' streak to seven games as they continue their strong push in Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference (CCAC) play.

Indiana Northwest (17-4, 10-3 CCAC) controlled the game with its dominance on the boards, out-rebounding the Saints 53-38, including a 10-4 edge on the offensive glass. Jackson was the focal point of the attack, shooting 10-of-17 from the field while adding a steal and a block. Jessica Carrothers provided a strong all-around effort with 15 points, seven rebounds, five assists, and two steals.

Katelyn Halfacre, Alyna Santiago, and Ava Kingery each added six points, with Halfacre and Kingery knocking down a combined three three-pointers. Though the RedHawks struggled from beyond the arc, shooting just 13 percent (3-of-23), they made up for it with their interior play, outscoring Holy Cross 28-10 in the paint.

The Saints (13-8, 7-6 CCAC) kept it close in the early going, trailing 16-14 after the first quarter. However, Indiana Northwest pulled away in the second, outscoring Holy Cross 18-11 to take a 34-25 lead into halftime. The RedHawks maintained their advantage through the third quarter, leading 47-35 heading into the final period.

Holy Cross attempted to rally late, cutting the deficit to five midway through the fourth quarter, but Indiana Northwest responded with key defensive stops and clutch free throws to seal the win.

Grace Adams led the Saints with 17 points and 11 rebounds, while Allie Caldwell recorded 14 points, 10 rebounds, and two assists. Kayliana Hammel added nine points, and Brooke Lindesmith chipped in five. Holy Cross struggled with efficiency, shooting just 31.3 percent (21-of-67) from the field and 25 percent (5-of-20) from three-point range.

With the win, Indiana Northwest solidifies its position near the top of the CCAC standings and will look to keep its momentum going on the road Saturday, February 1, against Saint Xavier. Tipoff is set for 1 p.m. CT.
