Gravel’s 28 Leads UT-Pan American Women’s Basketball Past Houston Baptist, 72-59
EDINBURG – Alexandra Gravel scored a career-high of 28 points, leading the University of Texas-Pan American past Houston Baptist University, 72-59, Wednesday night in women’s basketball action at the UTPA Fieldhouse.
Gravel, a sophomore from Chicoutimi, Quebec, hit on 10-of-16 shots from the field, including 6-of-10 from three-point range. The 28 points topped her previous career high of 27 points, set twice earlier this season. Her six three-pointers tied for the second most in school history for a single game.
The Huskies went on a 15-0 run midway through the first half to take control. With UTPA leading 22-20, HBU held UTPA scoreless for the next five minutes until Erin Buttery hit a jumper with 3:56 left in the half. The Huskies took a 37-30 lead into the lockeroom. But the Broncs came out hot to start the second half. UTPA went on a 24-5 run to start the half and never looked back. Gravel hit four of her treys during the run that sealed the game.
Also scoring in double figures for the Broncs was Naima Williams who had 16 points and Cheveron Terry, who came off the bench to pour in 12 points. She also had team highs in rebounds (8), assists (4) and steals (5). Three Huskies scored in double figures, led by Tonie Noise with 15. Nola Wainohu had 12 and Kanika Harvey had 10 points.
UTPA (6-19) will return on Saturday, February 19th when they host Texas A&M-Corpus Christi in the first game of a men’s-women’s doubleheader at 5 p.m. HBU (20-8) will take the court next on February 19th against Willey College in Marshall, Texas, at 5:30 p.m.
