LONGVIEW –  LeTourneau University women's basketball team secured another win in American Southwest Conference play, a 68-53 victory over Louisiana College Saturday.
 
Keauna Whitfield led the way for the YellowJackets with 19 points on 7 of 14 shooting, and grabbed six rebounds. Malacia Guy chipped in 14 points on 4 of 9 shooting from long range, and dished out seven assists.
 
The YellowJackets (9-2, 5-1 ASC) got out to an early lead in the first quarter as Scruffy Hopkins' three-pointer at the 5:55 mark sparked a 12-0 run for LETU to trigger an 18-10 advantage at the end of the period. The Jackets increased their lead in the second quarter, outscoring the Wildcats 17-11. LeTourneau took a 35-21 lead into halftime.
 
The Jackets stretched their lead to 29 less than three minutes into the fourth quarter when Guy found Ajanae Thomas for a three at the 7:22 mark to put it away. Louisiana College made a late surge, but it was too much to overcome.
 
The Jackets continued their defensive dominance by forcing the Wildcats into 23 turnovers. Shailey Miller, Thomas and Whitfield all had three steals apiece, and Hopkins had two. The YellowJackets outrebounded the Wildcats, 51-44. Six YellowJackets grabbed at least five rebounds, including Flora Akingbade's eight boards. Hopkins had seven points, six rebounds and three assists. Ty Moon scored eight points off the bench on 3 of 5 shooting.
 
The YellowJackets will host the University of Texas at Dallas 5:30 p.m. Thursday.
