The finished with two quarters of less than 10 points, scoring nine points in the first and eight points in the fourth quarter. Additionally, LCU shot just six free throws, compared to UT Tyler's 26 attempts. The Pioneers will look to draw fouls on Saturday afternoon and limit the scoring of the Lady Chaps.
