YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio – A late surge for UIC, powered by 16 points in a seven-minute span from Tylah Lampley, proved not enough on Monday evening as the Flames (1-12, 0-2 HL) fell 77-65 to Horizon League foe Youngstown State (9-4, 2-0 HL). The Flames tallied 28 points in the fourth quarter to tie their season best as a squad, but consecutive 20+ quarters in the second half for the Penguins proved to be UIC's demise.

The Penguins rattled off another three, which Tiana Jackson answered with an under-and-around layup to keep the Flames within one possession, 9-7.
Burks tied the game at nine, and a jumper from Jada Nneji gave UIC its first lead, 11-9. A block from Abreanna Lake led to a Flames defensive board, which Burks cashed in for two on the other end to extend the lead, 13-9.
