STEPHENVILLE, Texas -- The LeTourneau women's basketball team played its second exhibition of the season at a Division I foe as the YellowJackets fell to Tarleton State, 99-34, on Saturday morning inside Wisdom Gym.

Tarleton scored the final six points of the quarter and the lead stayed in double-figures the rest of the way.

Espinosa had 12 points and a block to lead the way for LeTourneau. Weeks added five points with three rebounds and two assists, while Savannah Scruggs also chipped in five points off the bench.

Five players scored in double-figures for Tarleton led by Grace Booth's 15 points and 13 rebounds. Arieona Rosborough, a transfer from UMHB, scored 10 points with six rebounds and four assists.
