YellowJackets Can’t Overcome Patriot’s Hot Shooting in ASC Road Loss

UT Tyler shot 50 percent (34-68) from the floor and used a big first half to overpower LeTourneau at the Herrington Patriot Center on Monday night. LETU shot just 36.8 percent from the floor and 25 percent (5-20) from long range.
 
The YellowJackets couldn't slow the Patriot offense that jumped out to a 28-12 lead at the end of the first quarter. The UTT lead would swell to as many as 28 in the second quarter and LETU would go into the half trailing 20-46.
 
LeTourneau would outscore the Patriots 40-37 in the second half but weren't able to cut into the UT Tyler lead, falling 60-83 to UTT. The YellowJackets drop to 6-7 overall on the season and 4-2 in the ASC with the loss.
 
LaTanya Drakes was the leading scorer for LETU finishing with 15 points. Drakes also added 7 rebounds. Crystal Jones, the ASC's leading scorer, was held to just 11 points in the loss on 5 of 13 shooting from the floor.
 
Jada Roberts added seven points and six rebounds for the YellowJackets. Fellow seniors Bria Goodman and Shaquicia Johnson each added six points as well.

The LeTourneau women will return to Solheim Arena on Thursday, January 5th for an American Southwest Conference matchup with Concordia University-Texas. The Tornados come into the game with a 9-3 overall record and 2-2 in the ASC. Tip-off is set for 5:30 on Thursday night.
