INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. - Chloe Guingrich reached double figures for the second consecutive game posting 16 points on 8-of-12 shooting while grabbing a team-high eight rebounds as Oakland dropped its first conference game of the season with a 76-41 setback at IUPUI on Thursday night.

Oakland (6-7, 1-1 HL) entered the game leading the lead Horizon League in 3-point field goal percentage defense (26.2%) which ranks 43rd nationally. However, IUPUI (8-6, 2-1 HL) connected on a blistering 11-for-20 (55%) from behind the arc along with going 29-for-58 (50%) from the field which proved to be the difference.
