Chicago, Ill. - Playing an Alverno team they defeated in double-overtime two weeks ago in Milwaukee, the Illinois Tech women's basketball team battled from behind late to defeat the Inferno 47-44 Thursday night at the Keating Sports Center. The Scarlet Hawks improved to 5-14 overall(2-11 NACC). The Inferno dropped to 1-17 overall(0-11 NACC).

Deriniece Moton scored with 4:43 remaining in the fourth quarter to allow the Hawks to regain the lead they had lost in the final minute of the third period. 

Another basket by Moton, and free throws by Julia Bucci and Allie Sillo down the stretch sealed the victory for the Hawks. Free throws chances proved to tip the game in the Hawks favor, as they shot 19 free throws compared to only two free throws for Alverno.
