With the game on the line, junior guard Terryn Milton hit a go-ahead three-point shot to take a 45-42 lead with 1:10 remaining in the fourth quarter, showing the blood in her veins was colder than the weather outside College Park Center.
A strong defense in the final minutes and free throws by senior forward Bre Wickware sealed the victory as the women’s basketball team (11-6, 9-4) defeated Texas State University 51-43, snapping a two-game losing skid.
Wickware led all scorers with 12 points and added eight rebounds.
Head coach Shereka Wright credited the defense and the team's grit for the bounceback effort.
