Denver puts in a charge against Louisiana Tech RECAP | BOX SCORE
| |||
RUSTON, La. (AP) -- Louisiana Tech had no trouble building a big
lead. Protecting it was far more difficult.
Ayana Walker scored 22 points and blocked six shots as No. 8
Louisiana Tech beat Denver 66-46 on Wednesday night.
Takeisha Lewis added 10 points and 11 rebounds, and freshman
Amber Obaze also had 10 points for the Techsters (11-3, 2-0
Sun Belt). Melissa Garcia led Denver (8-5, 0-2) with 19 points, and
Michaela Pavlickova added 10.
Louisiana Tech led 34-16 at the half, but Denver used a 17-5 run
to cut the margin to seven.
"We held them to 16 in the first half, but you're not going to
do that in the second half," Tech assistant Kurt Budke said.
"Anytime you can hold a college team under 50 points, you've got
to be happy."
The Techsters went on an 11-2 run in the final 4:30 en
route to their 37th consecutive regular-season conference victory and
61st regular-season home victory in a row against a conference
opponent.
"We could have easily folded and given up after they got nearly
20 up on us late in the first half, but we showed a lot of
character coming back," Denver coach Pam Tanner said.
