Halftime score: 39-33 Hope leads DePauw.
DePauw trailing by 12 with 1:30 left, the Tigers were able to go on a 6-0 run to end the half and cut the deficit to half a dozen on a Katie Aldrich layup with 3 seconds left.
DePauw has shot an abysmal 9-28 for a 32% FG percentage, while Hope has shot 56% on 13-23 shooting and 6 of 10 shooting from behind-the-arc.
Free throw shooting has been a bright spot for DePauw though as they've shot 14-16 from the charity stripe while the Flying Dutch has made 7 of 10 from the line.
If the Tigers can get things going from the field and specifically 3-point range, they could very well claw their way back into this basketball game!
Katie Aldrich and Katie Matthews lead DePauw with 8 points a piece. Hope is led by Carrie Snickers and Liz Ellis with 11 and 10 points respectively.
