WEST LAFAYETTE — It had been 10 years since the Indiana women’s basketball team won a game at Mackey Arena.

It had been 21 years since the Hoosiers beat Purdue twice in one season.

And it had been 33 years since IU had swept the Boilermakers home and away in a season.

All of those marks were erased on Monday night, as Indiana walked away with the Barnburner Trophy for the third time in four years after a 52-44 road win over Purdue.

“I’m really, really happy for my group,” said IU coach Teri Moren, whose team won the Jan. 6 meeting with the Boilers 72-54 in Bloomington. “We knew when the Big Ten season started, the early road was going to be difficult, but we knew those young kids were going to get better and we were going to rely on our seniors.

“(Tonight) it was collective, it’s all of them.”

Amanda Cahill scored 16 points and grabbed 11 rebounds to pace the Hoosiers (14-12, 7-6 Big Ten), while senior teammate Tyra Buss scored all 13 of her points in the second half as Indiana shut down the Boilermakers in the second half of a defensive struggle.

The game was tied at 22 at halftime and after a Buss free throw, Purdue (16-10, 7-5) used a 7-0 run to take a 29-23 lead with 6:03 mark of the third quarter.

The Boilermakers did not score again for seven minutes and 55 seconds, by which time IU had taken a 35-29 lead with a 12-0 run.

“They have tall, athletic girls. Shots weren’t falling,” Cahill said of the Purdue defense. “The second half we started getting it going.”

The lead was just 35-33 when the Hoosiers got it going one more time, going on a 10-2 run to push the lead to double figures with 4:29 remaining.

Freshman Bendu Yeaney hit a jumper, then got a steal and layup to start the spurt. Cahill followed with a jumper, then Kym Royster scored twice on assists from Cahill and Jaelynn Penn.

“I loved our freshmen,” Moren said. “Jaelynn Penn attacked at the end, and Bendu Yeaney just made plays.”

The Hoosiers closed the door on their sixth straight win behind Buss, who hit a 3 to make it 48-38 and then made 4-of-6 free throws in the final minute.

It was enough to overcome Ae’Rianna Harris’ eight points, 18 rebounds and four blocks, while Karissa McLaughlin was the only Purdue player in double figures with 14 points.
