Texas Southern Lady Tigers rout UTSA 59-44 on the road

SAN ANTONIO, Texas – A game-high 19 points from Brianna Sidney gave Texas Southern its fourth win of the season over Texas- San Antonio during the UTSA Winter Classic. The Lady Tigers finished the game winning by a score of 59-44.

Sidney (5-for-12) was the lone student-athlete to register a double-double (19 points, 13 rebounds). Joyce Kennerson (4-for-7) also scored in double figures, managing 18 points with eight rebounds. Jazzmin Parker contributed five points and five rebounds, while Kiana Vines earned four points and six rebounds.

The Roadrunners struck first and continued frequent scoring, but a 12 point run in the third quarter pushed TSU to a 42-31 standing. The Lady Tigers would never lose the lead for the remainder of the game.

The Lady Tigers kept UTSA at shooting 27.8 percent and 6.3 percent at three-point range. TSU forced 15 turnovers in the contest, while the two teams also combined to set a new NCAA record for blocked shots in a game with 29.

Individually Texas Southern's Vines totaled eight blocks matching the single-game record set last season by Middle Tennessee's Cheyenne Parker.

Due to wintry weather conditions rolling through the country, the final two days of the UTSA Holiday Classic have been canceled.
