WACO, Texas (AP) -- Sophia Young scored 22 points and grabbed 11 rebounds to lead No. 12 Baylor to a 73-60 win over Texas Tech on Sunday.
Rachel Allison added 16 points and Jessica Morrow 15, both career highs, for the Lady Bears (19-5, 9-4 Big 12).
The Lady Raiders (12-12, 7-6) tied the game at 52 on a layup by LaToya Davis with just more than 11 minutes remaining. But Baylor put together a 12-4 run and took a 64-56 lead on Allison's layup with 4:55 to play.
Texas Tech managed to cut Baylor's lead to six points twice, the last time at 66-60 with just over 2 minutes showing on the clock.
Baylor was perfect at the free throw line, hitting all 20 foul shots, 14 of them in the first half. Young and Angela Tisdale both hit all eight of their foul shots. The 20-for-20 performance came one short of tying Missouri's Big 12 record.
Davis led all scorers with 23 points, while Erin Grant added 19 for the Lady Raiders.
Young's layup gave Baylor a 10-8 lead that the Lady Bears never relinquished with just over 15 minutes remaining in the first half. Baylor stretched the margin to 40-34 at halftime, with Young scoring 14 points in the first half.
