TWU
BASKETBALL DROPS FIRST CONFERENCE LOSS TO MIDWESTERN
STATE
Kenyada Frazier Has Career Night For Pioneers
WICHITA
FALLS, Texas – Despite a career-high 19-point
and seven-rebound performance from junior forward Kenyada
Frazier (Denver, CO), the Texas Woman’s
University basketball team lost its Lone Star Conference
opener to Midwestern State, 91-74.
"Kenyada
had a great game tonight," TWU head coach Devin
Gabbard said. "This is the first time we really
saw her play up to her potential and are very pleased with
her performance. Defensively, we just didn’t play well
as a team and gave them (MSU) a high percentage of good shots."
The
Lady Indians certainly took advantage of the situation by
shooting 20-36 (.556) in the first half and forcing 24 TWU
turnovers in the game. TWU appeared to have the hot hands
at the beginning of the game as junior Lauri Engleman
(Jewett, TX) drained a three-pointer and junior Ashley
Browning (Plano, TX) nailed a short jumper to take
a 5-1 lead in the first 1:13 of play. MSU then scored 11
unanswered points and never looked back.
Pioneer
senior forward Daphne Lyons (Flower Mound, TX) added
18 points, hitting 6-of-6 from the free throw line, and a
team-best eight rebounds.
The
Pioneers (1-6, 0-1 LSC) will travel to St. Edward’s
on Tuesday, December 30 for their next game. The next home
game is Saturday, January 3 versus Northeastern State. Tip-off
is 3 p.m. at Kitty Magee Arena.
