EVANSVILLE, Ind. - Haleigh Lankster poured in 21 points and the Wichita State women's basketball team closed the 2010-11 regulars season with a 65-50 victory at Evansville.  It was the final game at Roberts Stadium.

The victory gives WSU its highest 2-year win total in more than a decade and the third-highest 2-year win total in program history (34).  The Shocks also collected 10 MVC wins for the first time since the 1999-00 campaign and turned in a 5-game conference winning streak for the first time since 2002-03. 

The Shockers started quickly, leaping out to a 10-3 advantage, with Lankster providing five points and Chynna Turner the other five.  Turner finished with 13 points and eight rebounds.  Michelle Price also reached double digits with 10 points.

Evansville closed to within 19-17 at the 7:34 mark in the first half but WSU answered and led by five at halftime.  A 7-2 spurt early in the second half gave the Shockers a 43-32 lead and Evansville never came closer than seven points after that. 

Wichita State finishes the regular season with a 16-13 record for the second consecutive year.  The team's 10-8 MVC record is its best since going 14-4 in 1999-00.  The Shockers also won in Evansville for the first time since 2002 and claimed a 5-game winning streak in Valley games for the first time since 2002-03. 

The Shockers will be the No. 5 seed in next week's Missouri Valley Conference Tournament in St. Charles, Mo. and will play Friday at 2:35 p.m.
