MUSKOGEE, OKLA. ? Haskell Indian Nations University cut an 11-point deficit to two late in the game, but could come no closer Saturday in a 65-61 women’s basketball loss to Bacone.

“We just couldn’t quite get over the hump,” Haskell coach Phil Homeratha said. “It was a good game. We had a chance to win. We were there.”

Maria Stevens led HINU with 18 points and nine rebounds.
