FORT WAYNE, Ind. – The No. 22-ranked Indiana Tech women's basketball team defeated Cardinal Stritch University, 78-41, in the second game of the Warrior Classic Friday evening inside the Schaefer Center.

Erika Foy led the way for Tech with a game-high 15 points (9-10 FT) and nine rebounds while adding three steals. Eileen Salisbury added a career-high 14 points, all coming in the first half, five rebounds and four assists while Emma Tuominen had 14 points, seven rebounds and two steals. Kyra Whitaker chipped in nine points, seven rebounds and four assists.

Tech raced out to a 7-0 lead to begin the game and while the Wolves cut the lead back down to one possession quickly at 7-4, it would be the closest they would come to the lead the rest of the way as the Warriors went on a 19-0 run over a four-minute stretch to take a commanding 25-4 lead. Foy would score seven points during the run while Salisbury knocked down a pair of three-pointers. Tech's defense held the perennial CCAC powerhouse to 0 points over a 4:35 stretch and just 2-15 shooting over the first 10 minutes of the game.

Tech continued to pour it on the Wolves in the second quarter as the lead never shrunk under 20 points while ballooning to as many as 28 in the period. The Orange and Black went into the locker room leading 48-24. The Warrior defense really showed its mettle in the third quarter as they held Cardinal Stritch to just 3-20 shooting (0-7 from three-point range) and six points in the period. The domination continued into the fourth quarter as the Warriors started the period on a 10-0 run and held the visitors scoreless for the first 6:21 of the final quarter. The lead grew to as much as 41 points as the Warriors extended their winning streak to 21 games. 

Tech (2-0) returns to action on Sunday, November 1 as they host Governors State University in the final game of the Warrior Classic. Tip-off is set for 2 p.m. from the Schaefer Center.
