Sharp Shooting Lady Chaps Block 'Toppers Bid at First Place

Kellyn Schneider Gets Double-Double and Sets Program and Conference Blocks Mark

AUSTIN, Texas (January 24, 2015) – Lubbock Christian University shot 80% (28/35) inside the arc, with Kellyn Schneider going 7-for-7 from the field to complete a 17-point 13-rebound double-double and Haley Fowler posting 25 points, and the career-high point totals for each of the Lady Chaparrals helped lead LCU to a 73-60 Heartland Conference road victory over St. Edward's University Saturday afternoon at Recreation and Convocation Center.

Schneider (7-for-7) and Tess Bruffey (6-for-6) combined for a 13-for-13 shooting performance. Mix in Fowler's 12-for-15 shooting mark in the game and the trio was 25-for-28 (89.2%) from the field. LCU had a 52-16 scoring advantage in paint scoring during the game.

Along with a career-high 17 points and her fifth double-double of the season, Schneider also contributed five assists and had four blocks, which led to some records being broken. The four blocks places Schneider with 74 blocks on the season, which sets a new program single-season record (was 71 held by Suzanne Copeland, 1990-91) and is a Heartland Conference single-season record.

Lubbock Christian opened the game 6-of-6 from the field and led 15-2 nearly seven minutes into the game. Ten LCU turnovers in the first half and eight offensive boards for SEU led to the Hilltoppers com-ing back from the 13-point deficit. The Hilltoppers went on a 13-2 run and tied the contest at 21-21 with 8:05 left in the first half. Fowler hit a pair of field goals and LCU quickly jumped out to a 27-21 lead be-fore SEU would eventually rally to take a 30-29 lead with 3:38 remaining in the half. It was neck-and-neck in the final three minutes of the half and a layup by Fowler with four seconds remaining provided LCU a 36-34 lead at the break. LCU was 66.7% (14/21) from field in the half and 81% (13/16) from inside the arc. SEU had 13 more shots than LCU in the half.

Sydney Thomas made a layup for SEU for a 40-39 lead less than three minutes into the second half, but LCU answered back with an 8-0 run capped by a pair of Schneider buckets for a 46-39 LCU lead with 13:36 remaining in the game. LCU pulled away with 12 minutes to go, going on a 14-4 run to push the lead to 67-42 with under seven minutes remaining. The Lady Chaps led as much as 18 points (69-51) in the second half. They had a sequence late in the game making seven consecutive field goal attempts.

The Lady Chaps were 63% (29/46) from the field, but not all of their shooting marks were solid. LCU was 9.1% (1/11) from three-point range and 53.8% from the free-throw line (14/26). The one three-pointer, which was made by Blair Taylor, marked LCU's fewest three-pointers in a game since being held without one on Nov.5, 2011 against Metro State.

Fowler led all scorers with 25 points. She is averaging 23.5 points per game since returning to the LCU line-up from an injury. Bruffey joined Schneider and Fowler in double figures with 12 points. All 12 came in the second half.

LCU held SEU to shoot 36.1% (22/61) in the contest. They shot 25.9% (7/27) from the field in the second half. Lexi Fatheree, Mileka Loydrake and Aimee Durbidge each had 12 points for SEU in the losing ef-fort.

SEU fell to 12-5 overall and 6-3 in the conference. LCU remains atop the conference standings with an 8-1 conference mark and they are 14-5 overall. They have a season-best six-game win streak, which in-cludes winning all three games on their longest road trip of the season. LCU returns home Thursday and will host Oklahoma Panhandle State at 6 p.m. in a contest which will be televised locally in Lubbock on Fox 34 News Now.
