Huntington, Ind. – Senior guard Jaidn Green (Evansville, Ind./Evansville North) tallied a game-high 19 points on 7-for-15 shooting, making three of her five three-point attempts, however the Saint Xavier University women's basketball team (6-3, 4-0 CCAC) lost to Huntington University (Ind.), 71-59, in a non-conference road contest Tuesday evening at the Platt Arena in Huntington, Ind. Green scored 12 of her points in the second half, and she drained a three-pointer to pull the Cougars within a point, 51-50, at the 6:36 mark of the fourth quarter but that would be as close as SXU would get after leading 20-14 at the end of the first period.
