Southwest Texas State Slips Past UT-Pan American Women’s Basketball 68-66
EDINBURG -- Alexandra Gravel scored 27 points on a school record nine three-pointers, but it wasn't enough as Southwest Texas State defeated the University of Texas-Pan American 68-66 in women's basketball action Wednesday at the UTPA Fieldhouse.
Gravel, a sophomore from Chicoutimi, Quebec, hit on a school record nine three-pointers in 14 attempts for UTPA. She also tied her career high with 27 points. Gravel was the only Lady Bronc to score in double figures. Point guard Alexis Williams also had an outstanding night with 11 assists, the second highest total in school history, just one off her own school record. Williams also had six points and four rebounds.
Gravel’s efforts were offset by a strong effort from the Bobcats Shawn Manning, who scored 25 points on 9-of-13 shooting from the field. She also pulled down six rebounds in 40 minutes of play. Amber Morrow posted a double-double for the Bobcats with 12 points and a career-high 11 rebounds. Sarah Wagner also scored 12 points for SWTS.
The Broncs led by as many as seven points in the second half after taking a 29-25 lead into the locker room. Gravel’s six-second half three-pointers kept the Lady Broncs ahead until the final three minutes. After Senela Baldwin gave the Broncs a 61-60 lead with 2:59 left, SWTS took the lead for the final time on two free throws by Morrow. Jocelyn Brown gave the Bobcats a three-point lead with a lay-up with 1:54 left. Gravel tied the game again at 66-66 with :25 left. But Brown and Sarah Wagner each hit one free throw in the final 16 seconds to ice the game.
UTPA will return to action on Thursday, December 30th at Troy State University. Tip-off is 7:05 p.m. The Bobcats will travel to Arlington, Texas, to face off against UT-Arlington on December 28th at 5:15 p.m.
