Rio Grande Sports Information
    RIO GRANDE, Ohio - Midway through the third quarter of Tuesday night's River States Conference battle at the Newt Oliver Arena, a win for the University of Rio Grande women's basketball team over 12th-ranked Indiana University East appeared to be a done deal.
    As things turned out, though, a win over the Red Wolves was anything but easy for head coach David Smalley club.
    The RedStorm saw a commanding 21-point lead whittled down to two inside the final two minutes, but held on to post an 82-76 victory over their RSC East Division rivals.
    Rio, who found out just before game time that they received 27 points and were part of a three-way tie for 27th in the latest NAIA Coaches Top 25 poll, improved to 12-1 overall and 3-0 in league play with its 10th straight win.
    IU East dropped to 8-3 overall and 1-1 inside the RSC.
