The Saints women's basketball team played excellent defense it its defeat of the Lady Steers of Texas College, 81-72, Saturday afternoon at Mabee Gymnasium. In addition, the Saints traveled to Dallas on Monday and beat Paul Quinn College 85-68 to improve their record to 4-2 in the conference.
Alisha Crump put the first points on the board at 18:30 into the game against Texas College. This gave the Saints the momentum, while Texas College could not get its rhythm. After careless mistakes by the Lady Steers, including players stepping out of bounds and several traveling violations, the Saints went up 6-1 before Texas College would put any more points on the board.
Kenisha McDade was on a terror with just about every attempt at a basket resulting in points. At 5'3" Victoria Resendez faked a pass on 5'11" Keyara Criner giving McDade the opportunity to shoot a basket and two foul shots. The score was now at 18-11 with 10:44 left in the first half.
The Lady Steers kept their bad luck going when British Thomas was assessed a technical because of foul language. Manning shot the two technical foul shots as well as a regular foul shot, increasing the Saints lead to 23-15. A short while later, Texas College's Sequoia Forney was assessed a technical because of unsportsmanlike conduct, and the score was now 33-21.
