DENTON, Texas (December 3, 2014) – Allison Szabo recorded a double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds, and teammate Haley Fowler had a game high 16 points to help lead Lubbock Christian University to a 58-53 win over Texas Woman's University Wednesday night at Kitty Magee Arena to extend LCU's road win streak to 17 games, which leads all NCAA Div. II active road win streaks.

LCU used a 9-0 run midway through the first half to turn a 13-12 deficit into a 21-13 lead. TWU, who had a 9-4 lead early on, went on an offensive dry spell. After going on a string of hitting five of six shot attempts, the Pioneers went on a binge of missing 12 consecutive shots while LCU was on their run. They would end up closing the half and the opening shot of the second half going 3-of-21 (14.3 %). Combined with 10 turnovers on TWU (in the half), LCU led 29-21 at the break. TWU was held to a 26.7% (8/30) shooting mark in the first half.

The Lady Chaps were able to build the lead to 12 and led by the margin as late as with 8:30 remaining (46-34). Fowler was a big factor to the 12-point advantage, as she had 13 of her 16 points in the second half.  TWU would rally back late. After LCU's defense held TWU to a 2-of-12 shooting span midway through the second half, the Pioneers responded knocking down five of their next six attempts. It led to a 12-5 run, while their defense held LCU to three field goals in the final six minutes. TWU moved within 53-49 and had a free-throw attempt with 2:29 to go, but Kenesha Saygo's free-throw attempt was missed and LCU answered with an old-fashioned three-point play by Szabo to lead 56-49 with 2:11 to play. TWU never got within five points of LCU's lead the rest of the way.

TWU was unable to capitalize on second chance opportunities. The Pioneers, out-rebounding LCU 41-36, had 18 offensive rebounds, but only had seven points off second chance opportunities. LCU had a 26-18 scoring advantage in the paint and had nine blocks. Tess Bruffey produced five blocks and Kellyn Schneider had four. LCU was 41.3% (19/46) from the field and held TWU to 28.6% (18/63).

LCU improves to 5-2 on the season and they are 3-1 all-time against Texas Woman's University. It was their first win at Kitty Magee Arena and their first visit since Nov.1, 2010, which was Haley Burton's first game in a LCU uniform. TWU had their two-game win streak interrupted and they fall to 4-3.

Lubbock Christian returns home to the Rip Griffin Center Saturday and will host McMurry University at 2 p.m. McMurry is a former Heartland Conference foe that is currently transitioning back to NCAA Division III membership.
