LeTourneau ends season with road loss to UT-Dallas

RICHARDSON, Texas – Colleen Redmond scored 12 points, but it wasn't enough to lift the LeTourneau University women's basketball team as the YellowJackets dropped their final game of the season, 57-38, to the University of Texas at Dallas Saturday in an American Southwest Conference East Division game at the UTD Activity Center.

 

Redmond was 2-of-3 from the field and 6-of-8 at the free-throw line to pace LeTourneau (4-21 overall, 4-16 ASC). April McCamey added 10 points as the YellowJackets were 12-of-48 shooting for 25 percent.

 

LeTourneau opened the game on a 10-1 run, capped by two free throws by Redmond with 15:09 remaining in the first half as UT-Dallas couldn't knock down a shot from the field through nearly the first seven minutes.

 

The Comets (19-6, 16-4) answered the early run by the YellowJackets by closing out the final 13 minutes of the first half on a 20-2 run to take a 21-12 lead into the break.

 

UT-Dallas opened the second half on a 14-3 run to take a 35-15 advantage. LeTourneau responded by trimming the deficit to 39-24 after a McCamey jumper with 9:47 remaining.

 

A layup by McCamey with 4:26 left cut the margin to 44-32, but that would be as close as the YellowJackets would get during the final four minutes as the Comets ended the contest on a 12-6 run.

 

Addison led the way for UT-Dallas with 14 points, while Lauren Hale chipped in with 11. Chelsea Edwards and Tarneisha Scott each had 10 points as the Comets were 22-of-55 from the floor for 40 percent.
