No. 21 Lady Raiders knock off No. 12 TCU 62-60

LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) - The No. 21 Texas Tech Lady Raiders (21-3, 8-3) earned arguably their biggest win of the season with a 62-60 win over No. 12 TCU, also ending a two-game losing streak at home.

After trailing for most of the contest, the Lady Raiders took the lead with three minutes to go. Senior guard Snudda Collins made good on her layup, right as she was fouled. The ensuing free throw was good. Collins came in clutch seconds later, breaking a tie with a three-pointer of her own- which gave Tech a 58-55 lead.

Free throws were the difference maker in the finals seconds of the game. With :16 remaining in the game, senior and fourth-year Lady Raider Bailey Maupin was good on both free throws, and one of two successful free throws from Collins came at the best time since TCU standout Olivia Miles hit a three-pointer, bringing the Frogs within one, with a second left to play. Collins who led with 28 points and five rebounds, also made an insurance free-throw at the end of the game.

In Sunday’s contest, Sidney Love had ten points, and forward Jada Malone grabbed nine boards.

The Lady Raiders have a six-day break before they take on the Houston Cougars 5 p.m. Saturday at the Fertitta Center in Houston.
