UTPB women's basketball went to overtime for the second straight game, but the Falcons were unable to duplicate the results from two days prior in suffering a 95-89 OT loss on the road at St. Edward's in Austin, Texas.

The Falcons scored first in the overtime session, getting a free throw from Shaquiri Graham 40 seconds in to go up 80-79.

That was their only time they were ahead in the final five minutes as St. Edward's responded with seven straight points while scoring on all of its possessions after missing a 3-pointer the first time with the ball in OT.

The Hilltoppers brought the game to overtime after losing the lead with just over a minute left as Keyondra White connected on a 3-pointer to put the Falcons on top 76-75. A pair of free throws from Mileka Loydrake gave St. Edward's a one-point advantage, but UTPB grabbed back the lead on a basket in the paint from Graham to go back ahead 78-77. Valerie Barriga hit the back end of a pair of free throws on UTPB's next possession to lead by two, but Stephanie Dekkers hit a layup with nine seconds remaining to  tie the contest at 79-79. The Falcons had one final possession in regulation, but committed a charge and turned the ball over with two seconds to play.

Both teams held a  small lead in the first half but the Falcons held the advantage at halftime, holding a five point lead with 2:03 to play in the first half and holding the same advantage with a pair of free throws from Barriga at :37 on the clock and getting a layup by Tori Cooks to beat the buzzer and lead 41-36 at halftime.

UTPB led by as many as nine points in the early minutes of the second half, getting a three by Giselle Loya out of the break, a pair of baskets by Barriga and another shot from downtown by Loya to lead 51-42, its largest of the night.

Barriga led all UTPB scorers with 23 points, hitting 11-12 from the free throw line. A trio of Falcons added 16 points; Loya on 5-11 shooting behind the arc, White on 5-6 shooting both from the floor and the free throw line, and Graham who also led the team with 12 rebounds.

Loydrake led all scorers with 25 points with Dekkers adding 21.

The Falcons stay on the road this coming week, traveling to Oklahoma Panhandle State Thursday night.
