FRAZIER
RECORDS DOUBLE-DOUBLE IN LOSS TO WEST TEXAS A&M
Nationally-Ranked Lady Buffs Make Late First Half Run
DENTON,
Texas – No.
22 West Texas A&M went on a 20-2 run to end the first
half, creating a deficit from which the Pioneers could
not recover and TWU suffered a 73-41 loss at Kitty Magee
Arena.
The
Pioneers started strong against their nationally-ranked foe,
holding a lead until the 9:06 mark of the first half and
causing 10 turnovers by the Lady Buffs. West Texas A&M
then scored 10 unanswered points and held TWU to just one
more field goal in the first half to take a 32-15 advantage
into the half.
“The
first 10 minutes went very well for us,” said TWU head
coach Devin Gabbard. “We
stuck with our game plan to stay settled, hold onto the basketball
and make them work on defense. Then they seemed to doubt
themselves and that’s went it went wrong.”
There
was another bright spot in the play of TWU junior Kenyada
Frazier (Denver, CO), who was credited with her
second double-double in a week. Frazier led the team with
a game-high 17 points and 11 rebounds.
“I
have never seen Kenyada play with as much as intensity and
heart,” Gabbard added. “We are really seeing
her develop after coming off of two surgeries and I think
she is getting back to being the player she once was.”
The
Pioneers (2-17, 1-5 LSC) conclude their five-game homestand
at Kitty Magee Arena, hosting Lone Star Conference opponent
Eastern New Mexico this Saturday, Feb. 7 for a 3 p.m. tip-off.
