Tarleton put its third straight mark
in the win column Saturday afternoon
after holding on to a 66-52 win against
Western New Mexico on Alumni Weekend
in Wisdom Gym.
The first half was a defensive showcase
as neither team was able to find an early
rhythm. The Mustangs shot .300 from the
floor in the opening half while Tarleton
hit on just 9-33 shots from the floor.
However, Tarleton was able to force 14
first-half turnovers to build a 26-16 lead
at the break.
Out of the break, Tarleton scored six
unanswered on two buckets from Katie
Webster and one from McKinley Bostad
to push its lead out to 16 in the first two
minutes.
Western New Mexico got on the board
with a three-ball to cut the lead to 13,
but Tarleton answered back with four
free throws compared to one from the
Mustangs to put the TexAnns back up by
16. Tarleton’s lead bounced between 16
and 18 over the rest of the quarter before
the TexAnns went into the final frame
with a 42-26 edge.
The teams kicked up the offense in the
fourth quarter as both teams combined
for 50 points in the final frame alone
with the Mustangs edging the TexAnns
26-24, but it wasn’t enough to overcome
Tarleton’s big lead from the previous
three quarters.
For the game, Tarleton held Western
New Mexico to just .395 shooting from
the floor. Over the first three quarters,
A five-minute surge that saw Tarleton
outscore UT Permian Basin 12-0 late
in the fourth quarter is exactly what
the TexAnns needed to get by a pesky
Falcon team in Wisdom Gym Thursday
night. Tarleton earned its 12th win of the
season with a 62-53 victory.
Over the first half, it was the McKinley
Bostad show as the senior guard was
6-10 shooting from the floor for 17 of
Tarleton’s 30 points while the Falcons
were hanging around in a 30-28 contest.
In the opening two quarters, UTPB shot
.464 from the floor while the TexAnns
were just .370.
In the new half, the game was tied
through the first six minutes before
Kandyn Faurie connected on a fadeaway
jumper in front of the TexAnn bench to
put Tarleton up 39-37 and start a 6-2 run
however, the TexAnn defense limited
the Mustangs to a mere .272 mark. The
TexAnns also forced 24 turnover led by
seven combined steals from Kaylee Allen
(4) and Nina Alvarez (3).
Allen led the scoring for Tarleton with
17 points while McKinley Bostad scored
16 of her own. Mackenzie Hailey cracked
double digits with 10 points while Katie
Webster led the team with 12 rebounds.
Webster and Winkfield each scored
seven points while Alvarez (4), Kylie
Collins (3), and Hannah Hyde (2) rounded
out the scoring.

with a road trip to Angelo State and Texas
A&M-Kingsville. The TexAnns will tip-off

and 2 p.m. in Kingsville next Saturday.
