Aleksa Gulbe scored a career-high 28 points and No. 5 Indiana closed the game on a 14-0 run to complete an 80-70 comeback victory over Minnesota on Thursday night.

Gulbe was 4 for 4 from 3-point range, Grace Berger had 19 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists, and Nicole Cardaño-Hillary added 14 for the Hoosiers (15-3).

"We’re still a team that’s trying to create some momentum for ourselves," Indiana coach Teri Moren said. "We’re playing a lot of different pieces. We’re playing different than we’re used to."

Gulbe surpassed her previous high of 22 points, set against Norfolk State on Nov. 16.

"We rely on her on the defensive end, but really on the offensive end too," Berger said. "She’s been huge for us, especially these last few games."

Sara Scalia scored 26 points for the Gophers (10-13), including shooting 7 for 12 from 3-point range, but couldn’t hit two late 3-pointers to bring her team back as Indiana’s final run closed out the last 4:26 of the game.

Berger said she was able to take charge late in the game because of Moren’s trust in her. Berger scored 11 of her points in the second half, adding five rebounds and five assists in the fourth quarter.

"Everything about Grace gives me confidence that she can take over a game whenever Grace decides to do that," Moren said. "From her work ethic to how competitive she is to her skillset, this kid is a pro."
