Robyn Lee had 12 points and seven boards, while Jordan Marshall had a double-double with 11 and 10.
Bradley picked up her seventh Conference USA Freshman of the Week honor. The 5-9 guard is not only one of the top freshmen in the conference but also one of the league's best overall. On the season, Bradley's 13.9 points and 2.9 assists per game rank sixth. During league play, her scoring average has jumped to 16.6, ranking third in CUSA.
Morris has been a consistent threat for the Techsters since stepping on campus last season. During her sophomore campaign, the 5-7 guard has increased her scoring production by 4.3 points a game while maintaining her rebounds and assists averages. Morris has been more of a threat from behind the arc, with 1.5 threes per game.
Crashing the boards for Tech all season has been Marshall. The forward ranks 86th in the nation with 8.4 rebounds a game, the third most among freshmen. Her nine double-doubles on the season are the second most by a freshman in the country and the most by a Lady Techster since the 2021-22 season.
