Lisle, Ill. - The Dominican University women's basketball team fell to 7-11 on the season and 3-9 in the Northern Athletics Conference (NAC) as the Stars were beat by the Benedictine University Eagles 69-57 on Thursday evening. The Stars offense managed to connect on just 18 of the team's 70 field goal attempts, shooting a meager 25 percent from the field.
