Chicago, Illinois- Maron, Wicka, and Henriques all had a strong performance but it wasn't enough to propel the Scarlet Hawks to a victory versus an athletic Elmhurst team.

With 3:39 left in the first half, Elmhurst led 38-24 and closed out the half with a 48-27 lead.

The second half started with both teams exchanging baskets.  Jessica Henriques and Kayla Wicka were responsible for most of the Scarlet Hawk scoring. Elmhurst was too much for Illinois Tech though and managed to outscore the Hawks 48-20 in the second half for a final score of 97-46.
