The Lady Techsters are coming off a historic offensive performance in its victory against Louisiana Christian, winning their home opener 121-34.

Seven players scored in double-digits (Paris Bradley, Jordan Marshall, Jianna Morris, Alexia Weaver, Jayden Terry, Hillary Dawson, Mackenzie Wurm), led by Marshall's 20.

Marshall made the most of her 25 minutes on Tuesday night. Marshall led the team in scoring with 20, her second 20-point game this season and third of her career. She also grabbed 18 rebounds with 10 offensive boards, both career highs. Eighteen is the most rebounds by a Lady Techster since Alexus Malone had 18 against Missouri State in 2018. It marks the 30^th time in her career that she has grabbed at least six boards and the 13^th time she has grabbed at least 10. Marshall has scored in double figures 26 times in her career and has a dozen double-doubles.
 
Bradley was also impressive in the showing against the Wildcats. In just 21 minutes, Bradley set new season highs in points (17), field goals (6), assists (6), steals (5), and three-pointers (4). Her five steals and six assists are new team highs on the season. She has scored in double figures every game this season and 26 times in her career. Bradley committed zero turnovers in the contest.
 
Freshmen tandem Jayden Terry and Hillary Dawson shined in their first collegiate starts. Dawson was nearly perfect from the floor, shooting 8-9 with five rebounds and three steals. Terry contributed everywhere on the court, shooting 7-10 with five assists, two rebounds, a block and a steal. Both freshmen scored 16 points.
 
Isla Airey returned to the block party, getting the start and logging three rejections and three rebounds.

THE SERIES
This marks the first meeting in series history between these two programs.

The team peaked as high as eight in the national ranking and made the NCAA tournament.
