LAST TIME OUT
The Tarleton TexAnn Basketball team dropped its first game of the regular season Wednesday night with a 70-57 loss to the No. 7-ranked team in NAIA Our Lady of the Lake. Despite a 19-point performance from the defending LSC Offensive Player of the Week, Bailey Wipff, and the second straight double-double from Ikpeaku Iwobi, Tarleton was held to just 32 percent for the game, which included a 28-percent mark from beyond the arc.

In a 55-55 game and time winding down, Midwestern State's McKenna Villegas connected on a mid-range jumper at the buzzer to defeat Wesleyan. Katelynn Threats led all players with23 points and 11 rebounds against the Mustangs.
