Texas Tech closes its six-game home stand with LSU in the Big 12-SEC Challenge Thursday at 6:30 p.m.
LUBBOCK, Texas – The Texas Tech Lady Raiders had their three-game win streak halted as they fell to No. 19 Texas A&M, 90-56, Sunday afternoon at the United Supermarkets Arena.
Â
In its first trip to Lubbock since joining the Southeastern Conference, Texas A&M (4-1) got out to a hot start in the opening quarter and held off the Lady Raiders (3-2) the remainder of the day.
Â
Four Aggies finished in double figures, including a career-high 30 from freshman Chennedy Carter, who entered as the team's leading scorer. A&M also got 16 points from junior Anriel Howard and 14 apiece from senior Jasmine Lumpkin and junior Danni Williams.
Â
Sophomore Brittany Brewer led Texas Tech in scoring for the second-straight outing with 12 points on 5-of-9 shooting, while posting a team-high seven rebounds and matching her career high with four blocks. Freshman Lyndsey Whilby provided a spark off the bench with nine points, four rebounds and zero turnovers in 24 minutes.
Â
The Aggies shot 68 percent from the field in the first quarter and capitalized on six of their eight three point attempts to gain a 34-5 advantage after one. The Lady Raiders found their footing after the first stanza and battled A&M to a 56-51 game from the second quarter on.
Â
An 11-3 start to the fourth would bring the Lady Raiders to as close as 23 with 5:45 to go, but A&M responded with a 13-2 run to help close the game.
