DENTON, Texas (Nov. 18, 2018) — Texas Woman's hosted Oklahoma Christian in the final game of the Hilton Garden Inn Pioneer Classic, falling to the Lady Eagles 78-69.
 
"We dug ourselves a hole in the third quarter," head coach Beth Jillson said. "But I was proud of the way we battled back."
 
Outscored 22-10 by the Lady Eagles in the second quarter, and despite trailing by as many as 15 in the third, the Pioneers continued to fight.
 
Behind strong performances from Pioneer Classic All-Tournament team selections Carissa Moody and London Archer, TWU narrowed the gap with an 8-0 run in the fourth quarter.
 
"London and Carissa were great for the whole weekend," Jillson added. "They were just really consistent for us all weekend."
 
Moody finished with 26 points and 12 boards, recording her second double-double of the weekend, while Archer posted 11 points and 12 rebounds.
 
Bri'Anna Gray provided a strong contribution with 12 points and five rebounds before fouling out in the fourth quarter.
