Weber State women's basketball season lives on as they defeated Texas Southern University 66-56 Thursday night.
"Hard fought road battle and in tournament time it's do or die for both teams," said head coach Bethann Ord. "Texas Southern did a great job battling to end. Survive and advance and we live to play another day."
Things between the two teams started out pretty evenly being tied at 13-13 with just over a minute left in the first quarter. TSU drained a three pointer in the final minute to take a 16-13 lead over the Wildcats at the end of quarter one.
TSU jumped to a 21-16 lead to start the second quarter off but Weber State answered with a 5-0 run to tie the game back up 21-21. The Lady Tigers rocked a 7-0 run answered by a Wildcat 12-0 run to take a 36-31 lead at half time.
Within the first four minutes of the second half, TSU tied everything back up 38-38 with a 7-2 run. Things went back to being tight between the two times for the rest of the the third quarter and by the end of third quarter the Lady Tigers snagged a small 48-46 lead going into the final quarter of play.
The fourth quarter was definitely the grand finale for the Wildcats. They finished the game on a 15-2 run and held the Lady Tigers to just eight points in the final quarter. Larryn Brooks drained a deep three in the final five seconds of the game to solidify WSU's 66-56 victory.
Weber State was led by Brooks who dropped 26 points, 20 of which occured in the first half. Emily Drake was the only other Wildcat to put up double figures as she dropped an even 10.
