The Texas Tech Lady Raiders used an opening 16-0 run to defeat Niagara 79-45 in its season opener at United Supermarkets Arena on Friday morning.
Rayven Brooks got things started with a 3-pointer from the top of the key and Leashja Grant scored six points in the opening run.
Grant, a junior college transfer from Trinity Valley Community College, was a force inside throughout the game, scoring 26 points and pulling down 15 rebounds.
She was an 11 of 12 from the floor.
