LUBBOCK, Texas – Head Coach Krista Gerlich earned her 100th win at the helm of the Lady Raiders as No. 16 Texas Tech defeated the Kansas Jayhawks, 70-65, on Tuesday evening at the United Supermarkets Arena.
Senior Bailey Maupin posted her second-straight game with 20+ points after scoring 23 with a team-high of two threes while going 9-for-10 at the free throw line. Maupin added five rebounds and two steals in the game for Texas Tech (23-3, 10-3 Big 12) as she also totaled her team-leading fifth 20+ point game and 23rd double-digit scoring game.
Senior Snudda Collins was just behind with 17 points on 5-for-11 shooting from the field (.455) with a team-high of two 3-pointers. Collins recorded two assists, two steals and a team-leading two blocks against Kansas (15-11, 5-9 Big 12). Leading the way in rebounds was Denae Fritz with six while Sidney Love led the Lady Raiders with four assists.
Sarengbe Sanogo made a layup to open the scoring in the game, but the Jayhawks scored eight of the next nine points for the 8-3 lead. Jada Malone came in and made back-to-back buckets and also got a block to help give the Lady Raiders back the ball after the media timeout. After getting within a point of Kansas, the Jayhawks would respond with a 7-0 run to force a Texas Tech timeout. Collins and Jalynn Bristow made layups after that, but the Jayhawks led 17-11 after one.
The Lady Raiders were on fire to begin the second quarter, getting two-consecutive threes from Collins and Fritz to tie the game at 17-17. Maupin made a triple for the lead right before Kansas got its first points at the 5:38 mark of the period with a layup. Gemma Núñez added a free throw before the Jayhawks scored again. The Lady Raiders answered with a three from Love then two more free throws from Collins for the 26-21 advantage. Maupin connected with a couple of free throws and Kansas added a layup at the end of the quarter as Tech led by a 28-25 score.
Sanogo once again scored first in the quarter, giving Tech a 30-25 lead. Maupin added a tough layup right after to increase the Lady Raider advantage. However, the Jayhawks went on a 6-0 run to answer, cutting their deficit to one point. Maupin added a layup to stop the Kansas momentum thanks to a dish from Malone. Collins continued the run with a triple before Kansas made two free throws. Maupin and Collins scored back-to-back baskets, but the Jayhawks answered with a three to make it 41-36. Both teams traded points in the final minute and a half of the third with Tech leading by a 45-40 score.
