Falcons Send The Pioneers Back East

DENTON, Texas – It was a total team effort as The University of Texas Permian Basin women's basketball team (Receiving Votes) (16-4 Lone Star Conference, 21-5) beat #7 / #8 Texas Woman's (19-2 LSC, 25-4) 51-47, Saturday afternoon at Kitty Magee Arena.

This is the second straight year that the Falcons have beaten a top 10 ranked team, and third in program history.  They beat the Pioneers (then #4) 69-57 on Feb. 18, 2023. 

The win snapped TWU's 15-game winning streak.  It was also the 21st win of the season by UT Permian Basin tying the school record set in 2010-11 and 2012-13.

The first quarter saw UTPB and Texas Woman's trading buckets the whole way.  Down 8-7 entering the second period, the Falcons jumped out to a 16-9 lead at the 5:48 mark.  UT Permian Basin would lead by three to seven points the rest of the period.

In the fourth period, TWU turned the tables with a 7-2 run to lead 40-35 with 7:59 left.  UTPB got to work going on a 14-4 burst.

That put the Falcons up 49-44 at the 1:50 mark.  Texas Woman's closed to two points, 49-47.  Senior Andreea Mancha hit two free throws with seven seconds left to seal the game.

Defense was the name of the game as the Falcons held the Pioneers to 34% from the floor and 18.2 % from behind the arc.  UTPB had 19 more rebounds including 30 defensive boards to just seven offensive for TWU.
