In the second half, the Cougars defense held Indiana Tech to 17.2 percent (5-29) shooting and created 11 turnovers. The Warriors cut the deficit to eight (45-37) with 14:01 remaining in the game, but Chicago State went on a 10-0 run and Indiana Tech never got any closer.
"It's just nice to get a win in your own building," Jackson said. "I just thought the women were awesome, they fought and fought and fought so I'm happy for them."
