ABOUT LOUISIANA TECH (1-0)
The Lady Techsters overcame a fourth quarter deficit to defeat Toledo on the road in their first MAC-SBC Challenge in program history to achieve Brooke Stoehr's 250^th career win.

A 21-14 fourth quarter and 7-0 run with less than a minute left propelled the Lady Techsters past the Rockets. Trailing as much as six in the fourth, LA Tech scored 14 points in the paint and shot 72.7 percent from the field in the final frame to secure win number one, 61-57.

Jordan Marshall debuted her third campaign with a double-double, scoring a game-high 14 points and a game-high 11 rebounds. Marshall has 16 double-doubles in her career and is the first Lady Techster to notch a double-double in the season opener since Anna Larr Roberson did in the 2020-21 opener against McNeese, scoring 12 points and grabbing 11 boards off the bench.

Brittani Wells, Alana Obianozie and E'Marriha Johnson all made impacts on the court in their first games as Lady Techsters.

Wells led the game in assists with six, adding 11 points and a critical mid-range jumper to give the Lady Techsters a three point lead late.

Obianozie iced the game with two free throws with 14 seconds left, the only LA Tech player to make both at the line in the game. The transfer from Shelton State scored 10 points on 4-5 shooting, mixing in five boards and a steal.

Johnson was the leading scorer for the Lady Techsters at halftime, nailing a three pointer and three layups for nine points in her first seven minutes of collegiate basketball.
