LUBBOCK, Texas (November 29, 2014) – Lubbock Christian University set a program single-game record in shooting percentage with a 69.2% shooting mark, as seven players produced double figures and all 12 players that touched the floor for LCU figured into the scoring of a 101-49 victory over Eastern New Mex-ico to close play in the Lowe's Market Thanksgiving Classic Saturday at Rip Griffin Center.

All 12 players that touched the floor for LCU played at least 10 minutes and they combined to go 36-of-52 (69.2%) from the field. LCU was 77.4% (24/31) in the first half alone, leading to a 59-19 halftime lead. They also produced defensively, holding ENMU to a 22.6% (7/31) shooting mark in the first half. Ironical-ly, the last time LCU held an opponent to 19 points or less in a first half was Jan. 6, 2014 at Eastern New Mexico (17 points). The 69.2% shooting mark broke the prior team record of 68.5% (37/54) set at the NAIA National Tournament against Georgetown (Kent.) on Mar. 15, 2013.

Seven different players made it to the free-throw line for LCU and they combined to go 95% from the line, missing one shot on 20 attempts. Allison Szabo led the pace, going 8-for-8 from the line.

The Lady Chaps outscored ENMU 46-12 in the paint and 25-3 in points off turnovers. They assisted on 24 of 36 field goals, with Blair Taylor (five), Haley Fowler (five) and Haley Burton (six) assisting with at least five assists.

LCU surged early, going on a 24-3 run a minute into the contest to place the score at 27-5 with over 12 minutes remaining in the opening half. The Lady Chaps were 11-of-12 from the field during the run. LCU led as much as 54 points (84-30 with 8:10 remaining) in the second half.

Callie Sandusky produced a career-high 13 points to co-lead LCU offensively with Burton. Hannah Harbin (12 points), Kellyn Schneider (11 points), Bailey Haist (11 points), Blair Taylor (10 points) and Szabo (10 points) joined Burton and Sandusky in double figures. No LCU player played more than 23 minutes.

ENMU did have some positive numbers despite the lopsided result. Texico, Texas twins Jaylyn Cooper (3-of-7) and Jordyn Cooper (3-of-5) combined to go 6-of-12 from three-point range. Jordyn led ENMU with 11 points. Things turned scary with under six minutes remaining, as Jasmine Johnson, who had a game-high 11 rebounds, suffered a head/neck injury and was transported to a local hospital resulting in a 15-minute delay.

The loss was ENMU's first loss of the season by more than single digits and they fall to 1-5 on the sea-son. LCU improved to 4-2 with the win.

The 52-point victory was LCU's largest margin of victory since a 67-point win over Arlington Baptist on Nov. 20, 2012. It was the second consecutive time LCU responded from a loss to Tarleton State with a victory of 50-or-more points. The 101 points marks the 13th time LCU has reached at least 100 points in a game under Steve Gomez's coaching tenure and it is the 22nd time overall in program history.
 
LCU hits the road Wednesday, facing Texas Woman's University at 7 p.m. in Denton, Texas. The Lady Chaps take a 16-game road win streak into the contest.
