LCU, forcing TAMIU into 23 turnovers Friday, forced the Dustdevils into 29 turnovers Saturday, marking the most LCU has forced since they forced Northern New Mexico into 32 on Nov. 5, 2010. The Lady Chaps took advantage of the 29 miscues, converting them into a 40-6 scoring advantage in points-off-turnovers. Ironically, the last time LCU scored 40 points in points-off-turnovers was against TAMIU on Mar. 7, 2019 at the Heartland Conference Tournament in Tulsa, Okla.
The start of the game showed sings that LCU would be the team struggling with turnovers, after a pair of turnovers on their first two possessions. They had a third turnover nearly three minutes into the game, but LCU would follow the remaining 17 minutes of the half with two turnovers.
The Lady Chaps first four points of the game were from the free-throw line. The offense started to roll once Emma Middleton was fouled for an and-one, which started a 16-0 run, which was also part of a 22-3 LCU run to set up a 26-11 lead after the first quarter. Ashton Duncan connected on a pair of three-pointers during the 16-0 portion of the run, as LCU was 7-of-10 from the field in the quarter (70%) and 4-of-5 (80%) from three-point range.
LCU was 11-of-15 from the field (73.3%) before they missed consecutive shot attempts (6:15 remaining in the second quarter). The Dustdevils were outscored 24-10 in the second quarter and LCU had runs of 11-0 and 13-1 in the quarter before a 50-21 lead. LCU was 14-of-25 (56%) from the field in the half and 6-of-10 from long range.
TAMIU was held to one two-point field goal the entire first half, as five of their six field goals of the half (6-of-20 shooting, 30%) were three-pointers (they were 1-of-11 from inside the arc in the half). Their scoring resources changed in the second half, as TAMIU had six field goals in the second half and all were inside the perimeter (they were 0-of-4 from three-point range in the half).
Friday, TAMIU shot 78.9% from the field in the second half. LCU made sure lightning did not strike twice. A 7-0 run in the third quarter gave LCU a 62-29 lead with 3:44 left in the quarter. The lead never went below a 31-point margin the rest of the way. LCU, surrendering 27 points to the Dustdevils in the fourth quarter Friday, held TAMIU to five points in Saturday's fourth quarter. TAMIU was held without a field goal over the final 5:38 of the game, while LCU ended the game on a 11-1 run.
Maci Maddox scored seven points in the fourth quarter (all her scoring in the game) and was one of 10 Lady Chaps to figure into the scoring of the second half. No member of the Lady Chaps played more than eight minutes in the second half and no player played less than five minutes (14 players played).
Allie Schulte led a foursome of Lady Chaps in double figures. She had a balanced effort with 14 points (5-of-7 shooting), six assists, four rebounds, four steals and a +26 plus/minus. Ashton Duncan and Emma Middleton each had 12 points. Duncan, making her first three three-point attempts, finished 4-of-8 from the field and 4-of-5 from three-point range. Middleton, 3-of-3 from the field, had seven rebounds, two blocks and two steals with a +30 plus/minus rating. Juliana Robertson was also +30 with 11 points (4-of-5 shooting) with two steals and two assists.
LCU was 53.2% (25/47) from the field, going 8-of-16 (50%) from three-point range. They also went 93.1% (27/29) from the free-throw line. Defensively, along with the myriad of forced turnovers, LCU had 15 steals (second highest total of the season).
TAMIU was led by Clara Fernandez, who had 12 points off a 4-of-6 shooting performance. The Dustdevils fell to 8-3 overall and 5-3 in LSC play on the season.
TURNING POINT
TAMIU did not have their first sequence of consecutive field goals until Clara Fernandez and Silvia Blanco hit back-to-back three-pointers for a 6-0 run with 5:48 left in the second quarter. LCU responded with a 13-1 run and kept TAMIU without a field goal for a span over five minutes.
INSIDE THE NUMBERS
LCU was 27-of-29 from the free-throw line (93.1%). The 27 made free-throws were the most since they made 34 against Eastern New Mexico on Dec. 30, 2017. Nine different Lady Chaps made a trip to the line, with Audrey Robertson (2/2), Maci Maddox (3/3) and Lara Mason (2/2) attempting their first collegiate free-throw attempts. The trio of freshman combined to go 7-of-7 from the line.
WHAT'S NEXT
LCU remains home and returns to West Division play in the Lone Star Conference Wednesday hosting Midwestern State. Tip-off is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. inside Rip Griffin Center.
