ABOUT LOUISIANA TECH (4-2)
The Lady Techsters dropped just their second game of the season last Saturday to Colorado, despite a game-high 17 points from Keiunna Walker. Tech found themselves down by 12 early in the second half before eight straight points from Walker sparked an 11-0 run to cut the deficit down to one at 28-27, but Tech was unable to take the lead.

Walker continued to score in bunches as all 17 or her points came in the second half, her eighth straight game scoring in double-figures dating back to last season. Walker is just one of six players in Conference USA to have scored in double-figures in every game their team has played in this season.Sophomore Anna Larr Roberson also had a great performance Saturday afternoon scoring eight points and grabbing 11 rebounds, her 12th career game with double-digit rebounds.

The Lady Techsters have had success from the inside all year long, outscoring their opponents this season, 216-142, in the paint. A large part of that comes from the play of Roberson (11.2 ppg.), Jadona Davis (2.0 ppg.) and Kate Thompson (3.5 ppg.) down low. Tech also gets a major contribution from the guards as Tech has outscored its opponents, 82-47, in fast-break points.

Four Lady Techsters are averaging in double-figures led by Walker's at 17.7 points per game. Other Lady Techsters scoring in double-figure are Amaya Brannon (10.7 ppg.), Roberson (11.2 ppg.) and Salma Bates (10.0 ppg.) Roberson leads the Lady Techsters in rebounds, pulling down 8.2 boards a game.
