AURORA, Ill. — Nofi Mojidi led three Maroons in double figures with 21 points as the 25th-ranked University of Chicago women\'s basketball team defeated Aurora University 74-65 on Wednesday night.

Mojidi turned in her second straight 20-point performance and third in five games as the Chicago improved to 5-0.

The first half featured eight lead changes and seven ties as the teams entered the intermission deadlocked at 40-40.

The game was even at 48-48 with 12:57 remaining before Lori Tanaka hit a pair of three-pointers 30 seconds apart to give Chicago a 54-50 edge at the 11:08 mark.
