Alpine, Texas – The University of Mary Hardin-Baylor women's basketball team dominated the second half to erase a halftime deficit and the Cru rolled to a 106-81 victory over Sul Ross State Saturday afternoon in Alpine. UMHB improves to 10-7 overall and 10-4 in American Southwest Conference play with the win. The loss drops the Lobos to 1-16 overall and 0-14 in ASC play on the year.

The Cru jumped out to a nine-point lead at 32-23 with 8:22 remaining in the first half, but Sul Ross State answered with a barrage of three-pointers. The Lobos would grab a three-point lead with 1:45 left in the half and held a 48-47 advantage at halftime. The Cru scored six of the first nine points of the second half to retake the lead and took it into double figures at 76-64 with 10:40 to play in the game. UMHB would stretch it out from there and tied the NCAA Division era single-game scoring record of 106 points on a Sierra Wiseman free-throw with five seconds left. That figure ties the mark set in the previous meeting with Sul Ross earlier this season.

Jovana Miles led UMHB with 27 points on 13-15 shooting and she also pulled down eight rebounds. Taylor Tucker added 24 points and seven boards and Alyssa Dean and Macy Moore added 13 points apiece. Jonelle Smith chipped in 12 points off the bench and Bridjai Chaney pulled down a game-high 12 rebounds. Eleven players scored for UMHB in the victory.

Gabriela Aguilar topped the Lobos with 22 points, Ashley Ousley scored 14 and Mercedes Orozco added 11 as all three of those players hit three three-pointers in the game. Sul Ross State hit 10-28 from beyond the arc in the first half, but went just 3-18 from long range in the second half. The Lobos shot 36 percent from the field as a team.

The Cru women will now return home to close out the regular season by playing six of the final eight games at the Mayborn Campus Center. That stretch begins with a 5:30 PM tip-off against Louisiana College next Thursday in Belton.
