MANHATTAN, Kan. – The Texas Tech Lady Raider basketball team dropped a tough one on the road on Wednesday night, falling at Kansas State, 84-70.

HOW IT HAPPENED
For the second-straight game, Tech had five players in double figures, led by Chrislyn Carr with 16 points, seven assists and a season-high-tying seven rebounds. Freshman Alexis Tucker had 14 points, and Jo'Nah Johnson had 13 points and three assists. Brittany Brewer wound up with 12 points and seven rebounds, and Andrayah Adams finished with 12 points, five rebounds and three assists.

The Lady Raiders got 10 points from Brewer in the opening 10 minutes to help the team lead, 19-18, after the first quarter. It was a team effort as four other Lady Raiders contributed buckets in the first period, and Goodson had five of Tech's 11 rebounds in the frame.

Texas Tech was able to expand its lead in the second quarter, finishing the period on a 15-2 run—including eight unanswered over the final minutes of the half to lead, 38-30 heading into the locker room. Johnson scored six in the quarter, including a four-point play after getting fouled on a made three.

Kansas State bit back in the third quarter, outscoring Tech, 23-17, to cut the Lady Raider lead to two. Carr scored eight in the quarter and Tucker had six to help hold the Wildcats off.

However, in the fourth quarter, Kansas State went on a run the Lady Raiders weren't able to withstand, as the Wildcats came back for the victory.
