Four Lady Raiders score double figures against the Mountaineers
Morgantown, W.V. – A 31-19 third quarter wasn't enough for the Lady Raiders as Texas Tech dropped 89-79 at No. 22 West Virginia Wednesday night.
Â
The Mountaineers (16-5, 4-5 Big 12) opened with a 24-8 first quarter. Texas Tech (11-8, 3-5 Big 12) battled back, but trailed WVU 43-24 at the half.
Â
The Lady Raiders came out of intermission firing with a 31-19 third quarter, but it wasn't enough to overpower the Mountaineers in the end. Texas Tech went 5-for-6 from 20-feet in the third quarter alone to make it a 7-point ball game.
Â
Tech didn't let up in the fourth, but West Virginia secured the win, 89-79.
Â
Texas Tech scored a season-best 13 three-pointers, shooting 54.2 percent (13-24) from beyond the arc.
Â
Four Lady Raiders scored double-digit points for the eighth time this season. Senior Ivonne CookTaylor led the team with a season-high 19 points. She went 8-for-12 from the field including a perfect night beyond the arc. Recee' Caldwell followed with 16 points and five assists.
Â
Junior Larryn Brooks added 13 points for the Lady Raiders while junior Jada Terry was one rebound shy of another double-double as she scored 11 points.
