Box Score HUNTSVILLE, Texas – Louisiana Tech defeats Sam Houston to cap of a perfect 9-0 road record in conference play in the Bernard G. Johnson Coliseum.
 
The Lady Techsters started fast, opening the game on a 7-0 run and forcing three Sam Houston turnovers. The Bearkats closed the gap to five entering the first media, but a Jianna Morris triple closed the quarter, pushing the lead back to 21-14. Paris Bradley made two triples, scoring six in the frame.
 
Louisiana Tech pushed the lead to 10 after Kaleigh Thompson's free throws, leading as much 14 to close the quarter.

Sam Houston's offense found some life in the final quarter, scoring 22 in the frame. Although a 6-0 Bearkat run closed the lead to 14, Louisiana Tech would answer back with a 6-0 run of their own, leading by 20. The Lady Techsters lead was never in danger, dribbling out the clock to win 75-60. LA Tech shot 8-12 in the final quarter, scoring 20 points.

QUOTABLES
Head coach Brooke Stoehr
We knew it would be a physical game against Sam Houston. We needed to stick to our road recipe we have had all year of defending, rebounding and taking care of the basketball. I thought we did a nice job of keeping them off the offensive boards and off the free throw line, especially in the first half. It was great to see us running the floor and getting to spots and sharing the ball to find open shooters. So proud of their mindset and mentality to win another road game against a good team in Sam Houston.
 
We will get a chance to finish up finals early next week and have two games at home to finish the regular season. We want to have some great crowds to complete these last two homes games and give this group a boost as we try to close out the home slate.
