MACOMB - IUPUI slowed it down and made 10 3-pointers for a 68-55 Mid-Continent victory over the Leathernecks at Western Hall.

The Jaguars outscored the Leathernecks, 15-3, with 4:18 left in the first half to the 16:46 mark of the second.

"They're going to play a possession game," WIU coach Derek Thomas said. "It's like playing Princeton (offense) teams; when they get up three possessions it's very tough to come back."

Troy Okeson scored 13 for WIU. Austin Montgomery had 18 points for IUPUI.

Secret weapon: ORU senior Sarah Davidson may be the best kept secret in the Mid-Continent Conference.

The Australia native is shooting 48 percent (12-of-26) from 3-point range, but she hasn't cracked the league leaders because she hasn't had enough shots.

Hampered by bad knees since she arrived ORU, Davidson can't play more than a few minutes a game.
