Lady Bisons Fall to West Texas A&M, 89-81

CANYON, Texas - Harding women's basketball fell to West Texas A&M 89-81 on Sunday in the D2CCA Tipoff Classic at the First United Bank Center.

Harding senior Sage Hawley scored 35 points, her fifth 30-point game and second straight, but it wasn't enough as the Lady Bisons were outdone by West Texas A&M's 53% shooting from the field and 10 3-pointers. Hawley's performance was a highlight for Harding, as she shot 14-of-23 from the field and 7-of-8 from the free throw line. She also grabbed 10 rebounds for a double-double, her 53rd career double-double, extending her school record. Hawley had 17 points in the first half and added 18 more in the second half.

Sophomore Katelyn Kabrich scored 10 points, Josie Williams added seven points, five rebounds, and a team-high four assists, while Aubrey Isbell chipped in with nine points and six rebounds.

The Lady Bisons shot 44.1% from the field and made 19-of-22 (86.4%) from the free throw line, but West Texas A&M's long-range shooting proved to be the difference.

Harding led by as many as nine points in the third quarter, but West Texas A&M rallied to take the lead in the fourth quarter. The Lady Bisons' Rory Geer made two free throws early in the fourth quarter to give Harding a 65-61 lead, but West Texas A&M scored the next 10 points and held off the Lady Bisons down the stretch.

Harding will look to bounce back in their next game on the road against Cameron on Nov. 12 in Lawton, Oklahoma.
