TERRE HAUTE, IND. -- Anderson University relied on a strong defensive effort to top Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology 45-33 in women's basketball action on Wednesday.

Lauren Vail led the Ravens with 14 points on 4-7 from the field and 4-4 from the free throw line.  Anderson's defensive effort helped the Engineers to 30% from the field in the contest.

Freshman Donna Marsh (Mobile, Ala./Baker) paced Rose-Hulman with 12 points.  Marsh finished 4-8 from the field and 4-6 from the free throw line in the contest.

Freshman Theresa Henke (Alexandria, Ky./ Bishop Brossart) added eight points and four rebounds off the Engineer bench.

Other key contributors for Rose-Hulman included senior Brittany Moline (Indianapolis/ Perry Meridian) with six rebounds, three steals and two assists; and senior Jill Floyd (Bloomington, Ill./Olympia) with five points and three rebounds.

Anderson jumped out to a 30-16 halftime advantage by holding the Engineers to 35% from the field and shooting 43% on its own.

Rose-Hulman trimmed a 15-point second-half deficit down to six points at 38-32 on a jumper by Floyd with 3:38 remaining.  Vail scored the next four points and Anderson held the Engineers without a point for the next 2:30 to secure the win.

Anderson improved to 10-6 overall and 6-3 in Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference play with the victory.  Rose-Hulman dropped to 7-10 overall and 3-5 in league contests.  The Engineers return to action at Bluffton University on Saturday.
