Turnovers Plague YellowJackets in Sunday Loss to Trinity

The YellowJackets fell 63-83 to the Tigers on Sunday afternoon in San Antonio despite a 19 point and a career high 21-rebound effort from LaTanya Drakes. The Gardena, California native has recorded a double-double in the first two games of the season.
 
LeTourneau (0-2) shot just 29 percent (21-72) from the field in the game and 18 turnovers would plague any chance of a comeback for the YellowJackets.
 
"We must be more disciplined in what we do and focus on executing what we practice," said head coach Leslie Reinecker. "We must do a better job of playing as a team instead of relying on individual abilities."
 
The Tigers went on a 14-2 run to end the first quarter and take an early 20-8 lead. The YellowJackets would respond with a 16-2 run of their own in the second quarter to tie the game at 24. Crystal Jones had 10 of her 17 points during the scoring barrage for LETU.
 
Senior Ashley Crockett was perfect from the floor as she went 3 for 3 from the floor and finished with nine points for LeTourneau.
 
Trinity would lead by as many as 27 in the second half as Mollie Hughes led all scorers with 20 for the Tigers. A 10-1 LETU run helped to close the margin in the fourth quarter.
 
The YellowJacket women will complete their road trip with a Tuesday night matchup with Texas Lutheran. Tip-off is set for 5:30 at Memorial Gymnasium in Seguin.
