UDM women dominate Valpo; Western rallies to defeat Eagles

The Detroit Titans led from start to finish in a 78-57 road victory against the Valparaiso Crusaders. The win also assured UDM that they would not finish ninth like the Horizon League Preseason Poll had predicted.

Sophomore Haleigh Ristovski and freshman Nicole Urbanick lead the Detroit with 17 points each. 17 points was also a season high for Urbanick. Freshman Darianne Seward finished the day with 12 points, tied her season-high with eight rebounds, and recorded a season-best six assists.

The Titans (11-16, 6-8 HL) will now travel to the state Wisconsin for their final two games of the regular season, beginning with Milwaukee this Wednesday night at 8 pm.
