PIONEERS
EDGED BY ST. EDWARD'S IN NONCONFERENCE TILT
Turnovers Plague Second Half Rally
AUSTIN,
Texas – TWU senior guard Julie Prescher
(Valley View, TX) nailed a three-pointer with
40 seconds in regulation to tie the score at 62-all, but
the Pioneers could not hold on as St. Edward’s earned
a 65-62 win on its home court.
Prescher
sunk three of the Pioneers six three-pointers in the game
and was a perfect three-of-three at the free-throw line for
12 points. Prescher’s teammates Kenyada Frazier
(Denver, CO) and Lacey Pemberton (Hawkins,
TX) each added a game-high 14 points. Frazier also
contributed a game-high eight rebounds and three key blocked
shots during that second half rally.
TWU
shot 46.7 percent from the field, but had a hard time holding
onto the ball with 32 turnovers in the game.
"I
was pleased by the rally we seemed to show at the end," TWU
head basketball coach Devin
Gabbard said. "Kenyada (Frazier) hit four
clutch free throws in a row and then Julie (Prescher) sunk
the three-pointer, but we just could not keep possession
of the ball when it mattered most."
The
Pioneers (1-7) return to the friendly confines of Kitty Magee
Arena to host Lone Star Conference foe Northeastern State
on Saturday, January 3. Tip-off is 3 p.m.
